The formatter is using dummy than the actual file

[bitst0rm]

To the first issue: I have updated the clang-format commands, as they were not present when Formatter was born.

Regarding the second issue: Editing settings in the left-hand pane under Formatter > Settings will lead to it consistently reverting to the default one, while the right-hand pane is where user customizations should be made.

[h2110100]

But now there this error

Formatter: [ERROR] File not formatted due to an error (exitcode=255): "'gmock' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

and I have also updated the plugin

[bitst0rm]

Without using Formatter, could you please run from terminal to see what is happening:

"C:\\Program Files\\Clang\\clang-format\\clang-format.exe" --style=file:"C:\\Users\\The Fool\\AppData\\Roaming\\Sublime Text\\Packages\\User\\formatter.assets\\config\\clang_format_google_rc.yaml" --assume-filename=dummy.cpp "C:\\path\\to\\file\\test.cpp" --

test.cpp

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
  int n;

  cout << "Enter an integer: ";
  cin >> n;

  if (n % 2 == 0)
                                                cout << n << " is even.";
  else
                                                cout << n << " is odd.";

  return 0;
}

This is what i got on windows:
▋[Formatter](Thread-44:formatter_clangformat.py#L80): [DEBUG] Current arguments: ['C:\\Users\\admin\\Downloads\\clang-format.exe', '--style=file:C:\\Users\\admin\\AppData\\Roaming\\Sublime Text\\Packages\\User\\formatter.assets\\config\\clang_format_google_rc.yaml', '--assume-filename=dummy.cpp', '-']
▋[Formatter](Thread-44:main.py#L415): [DEBUG] Formatting successful. 🎉😃🍰

[h2110100]

It prints

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
  int n;

  cout << "Enter an integer: ";
  cin >> n;

  if (n % 2 == 0)
    cout << n << " is even.";
  else
    cout << n << " is odd.";

  return 0;
}

but not the formatting successful status

[bitst0rm]

gmock is neither part of the executed arguments nor it is part of Formatter codebase. I do not have any clue how it appears here. The input command arguments chain and your logs seem to be correct. Formatter only feeds the correct command arguments to the subprocess. However, I could not reproduce this issue with the exitcode 255 on my Mac and Windows. This must be done on your system. You could try to:

• Disable all other Sublime plugins to prevent possible interference with Formatter process.
• In module > formatter_clangformat.py change '-' to '—' to signal the end of the command arguments.
• In core > common.py > def popen: change shell=IS_WINDOWS to shell=False

These are all that one can do and where Formatter directly invokes.

The dummy --assume-filename=dummy. is part of the command arguments and Formatter handles correct this ways, otherwise we will get an another type of error.

Update: @h2110100 It should get fixed now i think.

[h2110100]

It does work now. Thanks for your time!

[bitst0rm]

@h2110100 Thanks for your time to testing and bug report! I released 1.1.6 to address this issue.
