csharp: Shift+Alt+F not honouring "editor.tabSize": 2

[jrieken]

From @pflannery on January 27, 2016 12:50

v0.10.6
Executing Shift+Alt+F in a csharp file always defaults to a tab size of 4 regardless of my editor.tabSize preference.
But pressing tab in a csharp file does honour my tab size preference.

Also Shift+Alt+F works in javascript files.

Copied from original issue: microsoft/vscode#2439

Thanks this has led me to find a work around for now. Relates with OmniSharp/omnisharp-roslyn/issues/366

So adding an omnisharp.json file to the root of the working folder in vs code lets me control some basic formatting.

omnisharp.json content:

{
  "FormattingOptions": {
    "useTabs": false,
    "tabSize": 2,
    "indentationSize": 2,
    "smartIndent": 2,
    "newLine": "\n"
  }
}

Do you know if there is way I can also specify the CSharpFormattingOptions too?

@jrieken Thank you for keeping my issue current with the multiple submissions in different repos.

I tested this workaround and I am unable to get it to work for me. I tried placing the omisharp.json file in the root as well as in the .vscode directory. Here is a screenshot of my test. My cs class has 4 spaces and the tab size is setup to be 2. I removed the custom bindings to match Visual Studio so I only need to press Shift + Alt + F. Here is a screenshot of my current test.

@TJSoftware one extra thing that has to be done is to restart vs code after creating the omnisharp.json file.

@pflannery Yes, I had done that, just in case I did it again. I still have the same results. I tested this on both my host and vm machines. They are both Windows 10 pro. I rebooted the vm just for fun, still no change.

@TJSoftware looking again at your screen shot it might be that the "editor.tabSize" is set to 4 in your user\workspace settings. In your screen shot I can see 4 spaces from left but only two spaces once inside the c# class block.
Add some properties and methods to the class and test the format command. To remove the initial first four space issue then set "editor.tabSize" to 2.

@pflannery I actually tried both the workspace and the user settings before. My original submission is here. I double checked to make sure my current settings have this. Here is another screenshot with relevant settings. I am still seeing issues with the format in C#. I also mentioned that I am seeing the same issue in XML, a non MS person said that was not supported, however I was using a StackOverflow post from @jrieken as a reference. I am not sure if it is supported or not. The tabs format as expected for JS and JSON.

I just noticed an update notification on VSCode. I ran that and I still see the issues.

I also noticed something else strange. The version info shows that I am on node.4.1.1, if I look at cmd prompt I see node is 5.2.0.

I tested with the same settings as before in the latest insider.

The results are the same, formatting works in json but not in C#. I was mainly just playing with the insider build, I did not expect that this would be fixed as it is still open.

Node still shows as 4.1.1

P.S. thanks for sharing the insider builds 👍
