Indent rule regression starting with v20.1.0

[Scott O'Hara]

What version of ESLint are you using?
5.11.1

What version of TypeScript are you using?
3.1.1

What version of typescript-eslint-parser are you using?
Any version from 20.1.0 onwards

What code were you trying to parse?

{
  "parser": "typescript-eslint-parser",
  "rules": {
    "indent": ["error", "tab", {"VariableDeclarator": {"const": 3}}]
  }
}

(in the code below, ^ represents a tab character)

interface Foo {
  a: number;
  b: number;
}

const foo: Foo = {
^ ^ ^ ^ a: 1,
^ ^ ^ ^ b: 2
^ ^ ^ },
^ ^ ^ bar = 1;

What did you expect to happen?
No errors

What happened?
In typescript-eslint-parser@20.0.0, code passes with no errors.

With typescript-eslint-parser@20.1.0 onwards, the errors below occur:

7:1  error  Expected indentation of 1 tab but found 4   indent
8:1  error  Expected indentation of 1 tab but found 4   indent
9:1  error  Expected indentation of 0 tabs but found 3  indent

The code can be modified like below to pass, but clearly this is not what the config intends:

const foo: Foo = {
  a: 1,
  b: 2
},
      bar = 1

Vanilla JS code without a type annotation passes as expected:

const foo = {
        a: 1,
		b: 2
      },
      bar = 1;

Same issue appears when using spaces instead of tabs:

{
  "parser": "typescript-eslint-parser",
  "rules": {
    "indent": ["error", 2, {"VariableDeclarator": {"const": 3}}]
  }
}

// No type annotation..OK
const foo = {
        a: 1,
		b: 2
      },
      bar = 1;

// With type annotation..OK
const foo: Foo = {
  a: 1,
  b: 2
},
      bar = 1;

// With type annotation..not OK
const foo: Foo = {
        a: 1,
        b: 2
      },
      bar = 1;

7:1  error  Expected indentation of 2 spaces but found 8  indent
8:1  error  Expected indentation of 2 spaces but found 8  indent
9:1  error  Expected indentation of 0 spaces but found 6  indent

you should consider using https://github.com/bradzacher/eslint-plugin-typescript/blob/master/docs/rules/indent.md

[Scott O'Hara]

Thanks @armano2.

It looks like this is a new rule in 1.0.0-rc0, and isn't available in the current 0.14.0 release.

Generally I prefer not to use dependencies labelled as rc or beta, so I guess I may need to disable the base indent rule for now until 1.0.0 is officially released. Hopefully that isn't too far away now.

@scottohara i'm not using unstable versions to, but i will suggest you to test if this will solve your issue (if not you can report issue) :)

[Scott O'Hara]

Unfortunately, the same problem occurs when using typescript/indent (in v1.0.0-rc.0) instead of the main indent rule from eslint:

{
	"parser": "typescript-eslint-parser",
	"plugins": ["typescript"],
	"rules": {
		"indent": "off",
		"typescript/indent": ["error", "tab", {"VariableDeclarator": {"const": 3}}]
	}
}

interface Foo {
  a: number;
  b: number;
}

const foo: Foo = {
        a: 1,
        b: 2
      },
      bar = 1;

7:1  error  Expected indentation of 1 tab but found 4   typescript/indent
8:1  error  Expected indentation of 1 tab but found 4   typescript/indent
9:1  error  Expected indentation of 0 tabs but found 3  typescript/indent

[Armano]

can you open this issue in eslint-plugin-typescript?

[Scott O'Hara]

Sure, no problem. I'll create an issue over there refer back to this thread.

It is worth reiterating that the problem only affects typescript-eslint-parser@20.1.0+, regardless of which plugin version or indent rule is used.

So from an outsider's perspective, it sure does feel like the problem is in the parser, not the plugin/rules.

eslint-plugin-typescript	typescript-eslint-parser	indent	typescript/indent
0.14.0	20.0.0	✅	N/A
1.0.0-rc.0	20.0.0	✅	✅
0.14.0	20.1.0+	❌	N/A
1.0.0-rc.0	20.1.0+	❌	❌

[Armano]

issue is with new nodes, and with fact that rules can affect them now.
additionally you should consider checking v21.0.2 as a recent version.

v20.1.0 introduced visitor keys #516
v21.0.0 introduced proper scope analysis #540

if you are using version before 20.1.0 those nodes are just ignored, and formatting for them is not working at all.

I think this issue was resolved, but feel free to open a new issue on the new project https://github.com/typescript-eslint/typescript-eslint at any time. It will contain the parser and the plugin, so we can write the strongest possible integration tests for issues like this.

Many thanks!
