Format code option does nothing

[aga5tya]

Hi, first off thank you for the wonderful php intellisense plugin.

I tried the format code option, but doesn't seem to show any effect on the file. Is there anything i am missing out on ?

Operation System: OSX
VS Code: 1.5.3
PHP Intellisense: 0.0.9

It would help if you could show the file you are trying to format.

I tried it on a sample php files from the twig library trying to mess up the indentation. Doesn't work with that. Below is the link to a sample gist.

@aga5tya
I just tried the gist and everything worked as expected.
I have the same configuration as you, except that I am running Windows 10.

Do you have any other PHP formatter installed?

[sunverwerth]

Did you select the text before formatting? That is a feature that is currently not supported by this plugin.

@felixfbecker I tried with a fresh copy of vs code with only intellisense plugin installed. Still does not work. Any specific logs i can share up? Are you on OSX ?

Also FYI, I am on this version of PHP.

PHP 7.0.11 (cli) (built: Oct 2 2016 00:32:27) ( NTS )

@madhed I tried both ways, not sure what is causing the issue. Let me check on a linux OS and see if it works there.

Don't select the code :)

@felixfbecker Thank you! That solved it. I could not get it done earlier since some portion or variable was always highlighted in mine.

Also one more concern, formatting does not preserve empty lines.

[felixfbecker]

It currently is very opinionated about where you should have empty lines and where not
