If you have a string like 'x''x' then when formatting it becomes 'x' 'x'.
The extra space causes the compiler to complain with a "',' expected" message.

Love this little extension, using it with a TableRelation with if's and where on different lines cause the following lines to indent.

Also CONST + FILTER is not changed to lower case.

The old pascal developer in me really like how procedure declarations now is almost like in pascal.
That means we can split the declaration lines and make the code even more readable, even with lots of vars.
But right now if that's used, then it cases the following lines to be too much indented.

Probably I did something wrong, but I don't get the formatting to work. I tried uninstalling and installing again. Why the shortcut Alt+Shift+F and the ? format document don't format my al file?

Hi,
I'm having an issue when formatting a case.
This code

is transformed to

It throws an error,

I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if it is a bug,

Thanks!

a line like :

trigger OnRun(); begin end;

is being ignored.

The AL best practice says, you should call a method with multiple parameters like this:
MyFunction(Param1, Param2);
The formatter formats it to:
MyFunction(Param1,Param2);

Installed Version: 2.1.0

Which makes the text

Message('let''s show a message');

to

Message('let' 's show a message');

which doesn't compile

This is what I get:

And this is what I expect:

When using the block comments /* ... */in an AL file, the AL Formatter seems to split them with blanks.
Result is having / * ... * / wich is no longer recognized as a block comment.

Hi

In vs code you can do a syntax similar to :
//#region layout
al code for layout
//#endregion

This works as a region so you can get cleaner code (eg you can encapsulate chunks of code)

However this only works if the #region comment is all the way to the left, and not indented as and alt + shif + f would do.

Would it be possible to not format comments starting with //# or something similar?

According to https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=rasmus.al-formatter, the version 3.0.0 is available.
This repository only has version 2.0.1 though, unfortunately, according to the README file.

Can you please update this repository with the latest version?
Or is there another public repository with the latest version?

It may be outside of "just formatting", but wouldn't it be nice if it also could conform the soon to expire CaptionML, TooltipML, InstructionTextML and all the other "ML"' properties into the new labels as of the October release. Including making textconst's into labels. 👍
It would only work with ENU, so it may have to in a separate function then the current "Format Document", not to mess up things for those with more languages.

Just my preference: to have an empty line between functions

Not:

    local procedure "just a name2"();
    var
        mycust: Record customer;
        mycode: Code[10];
        mydec: Decimal;
        myint: Integer;
    begin
        Message('let us show another message');
        repeat
            Message('Customer %1',mycust."No.");
        until mycust.Next < 1;
    end;
    [EventSubscriber(ObjectType::Table,18,'OnAfterInsertEvent','',true,true)]
    local procedure MyProcedure();
    var
        myInt: Integer;
    begin
        Message('from an unformatted codeunit, subscribed on table 18');
    end;
    var
        myInt: Integer;

But:

    local procedure "just a name2"();
    var
        mycust: Record customer;
        mycode: Code[10];
        mydec: Decimal;
        myint: Integer;
    begin
        Message('let us show another message');
        repeat
            Message('Customer %1',mycust."No.");
        until mycust.Next < 1;
    end;

    [EventSubscriber(ObjectType::Table,18,'OnAfterInsertEvent','',true,true)]
    local procedure MyProcedure();
    var
        myInt: Integer;
    begin
        Message('from an unformatted codeunit, subscribed on table 18');
    end;

    var
        myInt: Integer;

The indentation inside a Repeat Until loop is not as expected:

And this is what I expect:

when i format an AL document, i get error:
[Error - 9:35:10 AM] Request textDocument/formatting failed.
Message: Request textDocument/formatting failed with message: Cannot read property 'trim' of undefined
Code: -32603

i use V2.1.0

Am i missing anything?

Please allow number of spaces to be set inside the settings to choose between 2 and 4 spaces

Seems to be an issue when there are embed IF / THEN statements.

Example:

After formatting, the last END is moved to the wrong position:
