Version and environment details

No response

It is working, but spams the log with the above stack traces. I tested it by modifying a Gradle file. It was reformatted successfully.

[dweiss]

It's in a plugin that coordinates eclipse-gradle interaction. The bug is simple but I don't think I want to go down and try to fix that particular code, sorry - too hairy.

I'll close the issue if it works (even with a nasty stack trace). Maybe we can come up with some other alternatives for formatting groovy/gradle code.

💩

[dweiss]

I know. I wish there was a simpler alternative. I am surprised groovy doesn't include a formatter (since it has an ast parser api).

[rmuir]

prettier supports many languages (including java) and there are plugins for groovy. Because of its popularity esp. on the front-end side, its much more widely used, and has good editor and IDE support, etc.

[rmuir]

That's not an argument for it either, I haven't tried it out on our codebase. Just a guess as to why you aren't finding lots of alternatives.

[dweiss]

I just went with the simplest route which allowed me to reformat existing code automatically and keep it sane. If it feels too heavy - we can turn it off by default (and periodically reformat) or even remove it entirely. No other formatter comes close to the one spotless uses (eclipse's).
