qmlformat 6.3.0 let to var "Error while writing"
-
Running the qmlformat binary from Qt 6.3.0 on a Mac or (Ubuntu 20) there is a consistent "Error while writing" when attempting to reformat inplace. It occurs when there is a for loop where the index is declared with let and it should be reformatted to var.
Command: qmlformat MyFile.qml -i
Original:for (let i = 0; i < model.count; i++) { // do something }Reformatted:
for (var i = 0; i < model.count; i++) { // do something }Error message: "Error while writing"
Is this known? Will it be fixed?
Edit: Reproduced under linux
