As I was playing around for the first time with CoffeeScript, I ran in to a problem. In order to debug my problem, I tried replacing my whole file with one of the example bits of code from the coffee script site:
kids =
brother:
name: "Max"
age: 11
sister:
name: "Ida"
age: 9
However, when I try to compile that code, I get:
Error: In coffee/main.coffee, Parse error on line 3: Unexpected 'INDENT'
at Object.parseError (/usr/lib/coffeescript/parser.js:501:11)
at Object.parse (/usr/lib/coffeescript/parser.js:573:32)
at Object.compile (/usr/lib/coffeescript/coffee-script.js:23:22)
at /usr/lib/coffeescript/command.js:99:27
at /usr/lib/coffeescript/command.js:72:28
at fs:84:13
at node.js:773:9
In coffee/main.coffee, Parse error on line 3: Unexpected 'INDENT'
Since this is code from the CoffeeScript site, I assume the code itself isn't the problem. However, the compiler also seems to be working properly; if I compile:
a = 2
it generates a file with:
(function(){
var a;
a = 2;
})();
as expected. So in other words, the code is good, the compiler is good, and yet somehow I'm getting this Unexpected 'IDENT' error ... can anyone help me understand what is going on?
I am pretty sure this is a tabs-vs-spaces issue. Tell your editor not to convert spaces to tabs if it does that. Also, go through your code with the cursor and make sure it doesn't jump over blank areas.
The issue is that while normal editors see a tab as equivalent to two or four spaces, coffeescript sees it as one space, so the indentation gets messed up.
If this all doesn't help, make sure you have a recent coffeescript version, e.g. 1.1.0 or newer.
If you are using a JetBrains IDE (IntelliJ, PHPStorm, etc) the change of setting that worked for me is:
File > Settings > Project Settings > Code Style > CoffeeScript > Tabs
and Indents
Tick "Use tab character" & "Smart tabs"
Code is fine. Make sure you haven't messed up the whitespace (strange control chars showing as blanks, tabs or similar).
If you have the same problem, but your indentation is okay,
then you must be suffering from bug 2868.
Basically, the error is misleading. Check for indentation
errors in the required files.
When in Atom you can automatically convert tabs to spaces:
Packages > Whitespace > Convert Tabs to Spaces
You can resolve this two ways
1. IF using webstorm File->Default Settings as said above
2. Other workaround, is to use a different editor like Sublime, there u can press enter on earlier line and it will auto tab it for you with spaces

Im not using any plugins for breaking my code, i think it's an integrated function. This problem is now since a few weeks and it's driving me crazy pasting code and then putting every line back.
Here is a screenshot of my code (i just copied this line):

Why is my vscode breaking the lines everytime?
Thanks in advance for your help, i really apreciate it
This is the default formatter wrapping text (or trying to) at the default of 80 columns.
If you want to override this, you can do so by adding this line to your settings.json file:
"html.format.wrapLineLength": 0
If you prefer to change your settings from the GUI instead of the json file, open the command palette and open the settings from there. Once in it, look for "HTML format wrap line length" in the search box and change the value to 0.
You find a shortcut to the settings here too:
I got a VSCode JSLint extension and I got its settings pointing to an .eslintrc file where I have the following specified for indentation:
{
...
"indent" : [1, "tab"]
...
}
The problem is, it's still putting the squiggly green lines where I have some tabs and I can't tell where anything's going wrong with any settings.
I have evidence the rc file is actually working because I was successfully able to change it from single to double-quotes. However it appears to completely ignore the indentation setting inside my VSCode.
You could simply disable the use_spaces rule. It's separate from the indent rule you changed. A bit over an oversight from JSLint.
There were quite a few complains about that rule, even here on SO. Quite a few people (not only on SO) suggest switching to JSHint instead. Personally I've only used ESLint and therefore don't know much about the differences, and I'd suggest checking those for yourself anyway.
Every time I open *.sol file in VSCode that already exists in the project it shows indentation: Only use indent of 4 spaces error even though I'm using 4 spaces for indentation, but get a Syntax error. Every time I have to clear that 4 space and again create 4 space for remove error.
I already have gone through the similar questions in stack overflow but didn't get approved answer. One of the related question is this .
Note : I used .sol extension of vs code for compile the code.
Method 1:
To convert existing indentation from tabs to spaces hit Ctrl+Shift+P or F1 and type:
>Convert Indentation to Spaces
Method 2:
You can use solidity-solhint extensions in visual studio.

I'm quite new to cc-mode and I'd like to configure it to allow me to freely format and use tabs in multiline comments. This is important to me because I want to use cog.py in my source file and need to be able to format the python source in the comment correctly. I'd be ok with comments not beeing autoindented at all, however I'd like to keep auto indenting the rest of the source code.
Example:
...
/*
[[[cog
import cog
for x in ['a','b','c']:
>cog.outl(x)
]]]
*/
...
In the line marked with > I'd like to press TAB to indent the line. cc-mode simply does nothing at all if i do so. I could use spaces there (which is inconvenient) but every (semi-)automatic re-indentation of this block would cause the spaces to vanish and therefore the python code to be incorrectly indented (which is what happens if i happen to press tab somewhere on this line after indenting it with spaces).
I tried to start emacs without my .init to be sure this is default behavior and not modified by my configuration so far. I've done google searches and read the documentation of the cc-mode variables / functions I stumbled upon (cc-mode online docs) while searching for a solution (i.e. c-indent-comments-syntactically-p, c-indent-command, c-tab-always-indent,...) but none of these seemed to solve my question.
EDIT1:
Thanks to abo-abo's idea of a "multi-major-mode" setup i've stumbled upon mmm-mode and have set up automatic switching to python mode for a cog section, which fixes most of my problems.
The only remaining problem is reindenting the whole file or a region containing a cog section. Can I somehow tell cc-mode to not change anything in comments while reindenting the file? mmm-mode + that would be a perfect solution for me.
You can use M-i to force a tab indent on the lines that you want, so you can use it to indent your comments.
You can also change your comments to use // instead. Just select your python code snippet, and do M-x comment-region:
// def foo(x):
// print 'hi'
Then the autoindent won't mess up your indentation.
My system: Ubuntu 9.10. Eclipse 3.5.1 with Java EE 1.2.1 (manual install - NOT from synaptic). Web Developer Tools 3.1.1
I've recently adopted someone else's code (a Dynamic Web Project), and run into lots of errors, warnings and incorrect syntax highlighting in Eclipse. I've narrowed it down to these 4 lines of code (create a new Dynamic Web Project, and then a new JSP page, and put this in the body):
${(1<2)? "" : "no"}
<%for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {%>
<div>${5}</div>
<%}%>
Errors / Warnings / Incorrect syntax highlighting
line1: yellow warning line under '<': Invalid character used in text string
(${(1<2)? "yes" : "no"}).
line2: red error line under 'f':
Multiple annotations found at this line: 1) Syntax error, insert "Finally" to complete TryStatement. 2) Syntax error, insert "}" to complete ClassBody
line2: red error line under ')': Syntax error on token ")", try expected after this token
line3: yellow warning line under 'div': No end tag (/div).
line3: yellow warning line under '<' of closing div: Multiple annotations
found at this line: 1) Invalid character used in text string (${5} <%}%>). 2) Invalid character used in text string (${5} <%}%>).
line3: '/div' is black and purple (for scriptlet code?) instead of green for HTML code
line4: The opening and closing scriplet tags '<%' and '%>' are black instead of orange
The page works as expected in a browser: you get '5' five times. If you change the empty quotes on line 1 to "yes" then save, close the file in the editor, r click it in the project explorer > validate, then re-open it: all errors / warnings / incorrect syntax highlighting disappear, except the first one (invalid character). This is incredibly irritating. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Eclipse WTP is great, but exactly this problem is an epic fail in Eclipse WTP for me as well. They seem to be working on that, but until then I just disable/set-to-ignore all of the validation related to this stuff in the workspace preferences through Web > JSP Files > Validation > scroll list to very bottom and set all EL validation settings to Ignore. Also in the main Validation preference uncheck all checkboxes related to JSP. This however doesn't seem to remove every warning/error, but it at least minimizes the annoyance.
IntelliJ IDEA handles JSP/EL validation much better.
To me, the symptoms make me think that WTP is using regexp instead of a stackbased parser to validate HTML/JSP/EL. This is a big no-no in case of structured markup.
