Gradle Plugin "6.7.2" - indentWithSpaces() is ignored when using googleJavaFormat()

[hajdukd]

If you are submitting a bug, please include the following:

• summary of problem

Indent is ignored instead of 4 spaces only 2 are applied despite indent being after google format.

• gradle version - 7.3
• spotless version - 6.7.2
• operating system and version - Windows 10
• copy-paste your full Spotless configuration block(s), and a link to a public git repo that reproduces the problem if possible

spotless {
    format 'misc', {
        // define the files to apply `misc` to
        target '*.gradle', '*.md'
        trimTrailingWhitespace()
        endWithNewline()
    }
    java {
        removeUnusedImports()
        googleJavaFormat('1.15.0')
        indentWithSpaces()
        endWithNewline()
        licenseHeader '/* Copyright (C) $YEAR - All Rights Reserved */'
    }
}

The unintuitive thing here is that indentWithSpaces just find-replaces \t with n spaces. And indentWithTabs just find-replaces n spaces with a \t. The only semi-smart stuff is checking for the beginning of lines and some multiline comment stuff.

GJF indents with 2-spaces, correct? The solution for your case is:

googleJavaFormat()
indentWithTabs(2)
indentWithSpaces(4)

That is confusing, I agree. Hopefully someday we'll get a PR to rename these methods and end the confusion once and for all!
