QT Beautifier plugin With Artistic Style refuses to function 'Error in Beautifier ... "AStyle.exe" terminated with exit code 1'

[Stoke]

Hello, I'm trying to use the QT Beautifier plugin on Windows 10 with Artistic Style.

I downloaded Artistic style, enabled the Beautifier plugin, set the Beautifier general tool to Artistic Style, set a keyboard short cut and created a custom configuration file.

in tools>options>beautifier>artisticstyle I set the Artistic Style Command to:

C:\PATH_TO_ASTYLE\AStyle\bin\AStyle.exe

I can even go into that directory and type Astyle.exe --version and the following will come up:

Artistic Style Version 3.0

So I'm not sure what the problem is.

At the time of writing this I found out what the problem was, so I will reply with the solution so others do not have the same issue.

The following was my configuration.

--style=allman 
--indent=spaces=4
--indent-classes
--indent-switches
--indent-labels
--indent-preproc-block
--indent-preproc-define
--indent-col1-comments
--max-continuation-indent
--pad-oper
--pad-comma
--pad-header
--align-pointer=type
--align-reference=type
--break-one-line-headers
--add-braces
--close-templates
--max-code-length=80

At first it may appear as if nothing was wrong, but --max-continuation-indent needs to have a value, changing it to --max-continuation-indent=40 worked. It appears that if the Artistic Style style config file does not have proper syntax QT does not notify the user.

To debug this I took a command I knew would work and tried it again, it worked fine.
