Formatter removing necessary semi-colon to concatenate arrays

[Manuel Razo-Mejia]

As part of my code hygiene customs, I break lines every 79 characters. But the auto-formatting feature of the package doesn't allow me to do it in the following context (the code is irrelevant since what matters is what the autoformatting part does):

I want to concatenate two vectors in the following way:

vector_to_concatenate = [
    repeat([foo], foo_times); 
    repeat([bar], bar_times)
]

But when I save the file, the autocorrect erases the semi-colon; needed for the concatenation. Obviously, in this example, I wouldn't need to break lines since I can write

vector_to_concatenate = [repeat([foo], foo_times); repeat([bar], bar_times)]

But if the variable names are longer, making this line > 79 characters, I would not want to have it as a single line. Is this something that can be easily fixed?

Thanks in advance for your help. I'm a big fan of what you guys are doing!

whats the .JuliaFormatter.toml file you're using?

[Manuel Razo-Mejia]

I am going to sound like a total novice, which I am, but I don't know where that toml file would be located. I am simply using the VSCode extension. I posted this on their GitHub and they told me to post it over here. Where can I find this file to share it with you?

I think the vscode extension uses MinimalStyle so it would mimic formatting the directory with format(".", MinimalStyle())

you can create a .JuliaFormatter.toml in the root of your directory and then setup options from there.

the semicolon is removed in this case because it's equivalent

julia> vector_to_concatenate = [
           repeat(["a"], 3);
           repeat(["b"], 4)
       ]
7-element Vector{String}:
 "a"
 "a"
 "a"
 "b"
 "b"
 "b"
 "b"

julia> vector_to_concatenate = [
           repeat(["a"], 3)
           repeat(["b"], 4)
       ]
7-element Vector{String}:
 "a"
 "a"
 "a"
 "b"
 "b"
 "b"
 "b"
