bug#16182: Acknowledgement (24.3.50; ruby-mode: Indentation style of multiline literals with hanging open paren inside other parens)

[Bozhidar Batsov]

Personally I dislike this style, because you’re basically it obscures the semantics of the method arguments, but I acknowledge that I’ve seen it the wild. For me it would be more beneficial if we supported a variant of the style:

methods.each do |method|
  route_set.add_route(
    self, {
      path_info: route.route_compiled,
      request_method: method,
    }, route_info: route
  )
end

The current trunk indents this all wrong:

methods.each do |method|
  route_set.add_route(
      self, {
        path_info: route.route_compiled,
        request_method: method,
      }, route_info: route
    )
end

Something that’s not mentioned here, but it’s a bigger problem for the users is probably the fact that we don’t support the following indentation style:

x = if something

  do_something

end

Even if I don’t use and (and the majority of Ruby hackers AFAIK) it’s still fairly popular. Currently this is the only supported option (which is arguably the most popular):

x = if something

      do_something

    end
