Beautyfier error

[mrjj]

Hi
make sure you run it on a CPP/H file. not QML.
It wont format QML as far as i know.

Hi @mrjj ,
When I try to run it on a cpp/h file I get the following error message:
Error in Beautifier: Failed to format: The command "C:\AStyle\bin\AStyle.exe" terminated with exit code 1..

Is there any beautifyer to format QML?
Thank you.

Hi
Not sure what it means by that.
Please try this config. and see.

--style=kr 
--indent=spaces=4 
--align-pointer=name 
--align-reference=name 
--convert-tabs 
--attach-namespaces
--max-code-length=100 
--max-instatement-indent=120 
--pad-header
--pad-oper

I have not seen any external formatters for QML but I think the build in works pretty ok ?

@mrjj
The built in QML formatter works great.
I entered the codes you recommended into Options - Beautifier - Artistic Style - Options - Use customized style - edit, but got the same error message
Error in Beautifier: Failed to format: The command "C:\AStyle\bin\AStyle.exe" terminated with exit code 1..

Hi
Ok, that is a bit odd.

If you open a command prompt and type (past)
C:\AStyle\bin\AStyle.exe
it does run the tool and it lists its options ?

Hi @mrjj ,

The command generated the error message below:

C:\AStyle\bin\Atyle.exe : The term 'C:\AStyle\bin\Atyle.exe' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the
path is correct and try again.

Thank you for your help.
