ruby-mode not honoring deep paren option.

[askreet]

I'm having the same issue as described here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2776317/like-vim-emacs-ruby-indentation

Setting ruby-use-smie to nil with defvar has no effect on whether or not this configuration option works. I'm using Spacemacs v0.105 on Emacs 24.5.1 (OS X).

Have you tried to put this:

(setq ruby-deep-indent-paren nil)

in dotspacemacs/user-config of your .spacemacs?

[askreet]

@StreakyCobra I don't have a dotspacemacs/user-config, I have only dotspacemacs/config -- is my .spacemacs outdated?

I'll try adding it to dotspacemacs/config.

[askreet]

That did not work.

[StreakyCobra]

is my .spacemacs outdated?

Slightly, you guessed it 😉 SPC f e D is helpful to keep it up to date :-)

That did not work.

Ok, I don't know then, I'm not doing ruby stuff at all.

[StreakyCobra]

Have you tried to unset both in user-config, this seems to be needed:

 (setq ruby-deep-indent-paren nil)
 (setq ruby-use-smie nil)

And restarted Spacemacs?

[askreet]

@StreakyCobra Okay, now we're getting somewhere! It's not quite right, but I'm going to see if I can figure it out by using user-config.

[askreet]

Well, I now feel like ruby-mode is working-as-advertised and I just don't like it.

What I get:

method_call({
    stuff: {
      things: 'hi'
    }
  })

What I want:

method_call({
  stuff: {
    things: 'hi'
  }
})

Reading the indentation code in ruby-mode is challenging, but I'll try to see if I can make my own custom function.

Switching to the enh-ruby-mode option for the ruby layer fixed this issue. In the past, it had issues replaying vim macros. Wish me luck...

[ankitrg]

Did you make this work?

@StreakyCobra Thank you so much. Spent almost an hour googling trying to fix ruby indentation. Luckily saw your post mentioning "(setq ruby-use-smie nil)" that did help!

It seems that this answers this https://stackoverflow.com/a/20733875/710003
(setq ruby-align-to-stmt-keywords '(if begin case def)). Maybe it should be added to the ruby layer?

[yurighensev]

Summing it up from previous answers:

(setq
  ruby-align-to-stmt-keywords '(if def begin case) ; set fixed indentation for these statements
  ruby-deep-indent-paren nil                       ; set fixed indentation for arguments inside parenthesis
  ruby-use-smie nil                                ; set fixed indentation for chained method calls
  )
