"standard --fix" alters indentation on comments

[rmtracey]

I'm trying out standard and I've noticed a bit of an odd behavior. It seems to enforce that all comments have a space before they start:

// like so

However, when I run "standard --fix" on my code, it will indent some comments that it fixes one or two extra times, like this, causing them to become misaligned with the code below them:

Before fixing:

code here
  //comment here
  code here

After fixing:

code here
    // comment here
  code here

This doesn't look right to me. Is this the intended behavior?

I just realized that my comments were not being indented, it's that they were not being un-indented along with the rest of my code. Is there a way to apply the 2-space indenting rule to comments as well?

[timoxley]

can you give a concrete example?

Space after // is an intentional rule:

// this is okay
//this is not okay

As for your other issue, you'll need to provide a code example where it happens before we can look into it.

Of course, sorry about that. So, for example something like this (which uses 4 spaces for indentation):

const testFun = () => {
    //comment
    const test = 'test'
    return test
}

will be corrected to use 2 spaces, except for the comment:

const testFun = () => {
    // comment
  const test = 'test'
  return test
}

Just to clarify, I have no issue with the space after // rule, it's that the 2-spaces-for-indentation rule is causing some comments to become misaligned with code. I was just misunderstanding what was causing the misalignment at first.

@11tracer Thanks for the code example. You're right -- confirmed.

Turns out this is a longstanding issue in ESLint (eslint/eslint#3845). There's a rewrite of the indent rule underway (90% done) that will resolve this (eslint/eslint#7274).

So going to close this issue as there's nothing for us to do. We'll get the fix for free in a future ESLint version.
