• Code language: C#

Description

Incorrect indentation

Current behavior

            for (int i = 0; i < array.Length; i++)
            {
                if (i == 0)
                    Console.Write("[" + array[i] + ", ");
                else
                    if (i == array.Length - 1)
                    Console.Write(array[i] + "]");
                else
                    Console.Write(array[i] + ", ");
            }

Expected behavior

            for (int i = 0; i < array.Length; i++)
            {
                if (i == 0)
                    Console.Write("[" + array[i] + ", ");
                else
                    if (i == array.Length - 1)
                        _Console.Write(array[i] + "]");
                    else
                        Console.Write(array[i] + ", ");_
            }

Thank you for reporting the issue. Indentation is handled natively by Visual Studio, which CodeMaid invokes as part of its cleanup by default. If you run the Edit->Advanced->Format Document command do you see the same behavior?

[codecadwallader]

I took a look at the code a bit further. I think what's happening is that the first else and the following if are effectively an else if unless you include braces. That's why indentation may not work as you expected.

[Sayberix]

Yes you are right. Everything works fine with parentheses. Is it possible to extend the possibilities of correct editing without brackets?

[codecadwallader]

I think to do that would mean changing the C# language definition to consider indentation significant, which I do not think Microsoft would be willing to do. I think it would be better to include the braces as the language expects.

OK I understood. Thank you!
