Text-wrapping?

[BatmanAoD]

When a pattern triggers past the terminal-size boundary, the bit that triggered isn't actually displayed as part of the code-snippet.

Is there a way to force the code-snippet to text-wrap so that the full line is shown regardless of the terminal size?

(Edit: I know the COLUMNS variable overrides the automatically detected terminal size, but this also messes with how boxes are rendered, and sometimes there are very long lines that simply must be wrapped anyway to be readable.)

Howdy @BatmanAoD,

Thanks for reaching out. Hm… how are you using relint? Are we talking pre-commit or are you running relint bare-bones in your terminal?

Cheers!

Interesting; GITLAB_ACTIONS does look like it could be useful for generating a report. Thanks.

In any case, it doesn't look like rich has any variables for controlling text-wrapping; it's only controllable in the Python API.

OK, let me know if we need to make any changes to relint.

@codingjoe Yes, to do text-wrapping you'd need to pass word_wrap=True to the Syntax constructor: https://rich.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reference/syntax.html#module-rich.syntax

Should I convert this to a feature-request issue?

@BatmanAoD I created a ticket, go for it :)
