/usr/local/bin is not writable by the user unless they are logged in as root. There are a couple possible fixes for this. One is to prefix the command with sudo (e.g. sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/bin) Which will prompt for the user's password (and will work if they are allowed to use the sudo command and it is installed.)
Another - and probably safer - alternative is to put the executable in ~/bin (expands to /home/<username>/bin) and is writable by the user without elevating privileges. If the directory exists, it will probably be in the $PATH. If not, it will be there on the next login. If your plugin provides the full path to shfmt, it should always work.

This is probably common to most, if not all, Linux variants.

In my project's folder, I have a .vscode/settings.json containing

{
    "shellformat.flag": "-sr",
    "editor.tabSize": 4,
    "editor.detectIndentation": true,
    "editor.renderWhitespace": "all",
    "editor.formatOnSave": true,
}

When I add my folder in a newly created workspace everything goes well. When I had more folders into the workspace, properties shellformat.* at the project level are not taken into account anymore.

I get a message saying

This setting cannot be applied in this workspace. It will be applied when you open the containing workspace folder directly.

Hello, thanks for this wonderful extension!

I am using VS Code Version 1.13.1 on Linux Fedora 25

When i use the format short-cut 'Shift+Ctrl I' if there are no errors it formats. If there are errors then nothing happens!

If I press F1 and select 'format shell with shfmt' then I see the error message appear that should also appear when I press the shortcut.

Thanks :)

With following flags:

"shellformat.flag": "-p"

shift + option + L renders following alert:

Would it possible to incorporate the shfmt >/dev/null behavior (described here) to show errors in the problems section? Similar to how shellcheck works:

Would it be possible to recommend adding the #! line in bash files?

I manually download shfmt to the dest directory.
But it disappear after the vscode reload

shfmt offers -i N to indent with a number of spaces instead of tabs. It'd make sense to expose this as Visual Studio Code user configuration.

See mvdan/sh#446

An extension shouldn't download binaries from arbitrary sources:

https://github.com/mvdan/sh/releases/download/v2.6.4/shfmt_v2.6.4_windows_amd64.exe is arbitrary and out of the extension's control. This would be different if this extension is being published by @mdvan. Additionally, no one should trust extension didn't modify the URL to their own payload. [1] [2] [3]

Most systems run behind a package system (brew, chocolately, apt etc), which incorporate their own flows for getting packages to a system and safeguards (e.g. checksumming executable etc).

Instead, consider outputting instructions on how to safely source shfmt, for example:

shfmt doesn't appear to be available! We checked your $PATH, C:\bin, and C:\Windows\system32 and couldn't find shfmt.exe.

Based on detected OS (Windows), here are some options to make shfmt available:

• Follow shfmt github instructions:
  https://github.com/mvdan/sh#shfmt

• Download using chocolatey:
  https://chocolatey.org/search?q=shfmt

• Download directly from https://github.com/mvdan/sh/releases and save into C:\bin\shfmt.exe (or anywhere in $PATH)

Bug: Detecting existing shfmt

The logic to identify if shfmt is available on local machine/path is broken - it didn't detect the installed/available version of shfmt on the system.

I understand what this extension is trying to do (make it easy for this extension to work), but its breaking some cardinal security rules. Implementing some of the safety check (checksum executable) would not change this - extensions shouldn't source arbitrary binaries.

Literally a copy-paste of the console output:

This happens so fast, it's impossible to control/see what's happening and why. Can the output be throttled such that it's once per second or per 1% download whichever is more? If I read the code correctly, currently, the output is per chunk which doesn't make sense from ux pov.

Even using dots per percent and a detailed print every 5% would be more than informative enough.

Example (one dot per chunk which is not bringing the count to multiples of 5)

downloaded: [0.50%].................

Hi - great product.

This works fine when I am using .sh files but it's also formatting my .env files - which is causing my vars to be broken as its splitting strings etc...

I have my package manager to install shfmt and I definitely don't want the extension to fetch any blobs from the Internet. The extension keeps downloading it even when I delete the binary.

In script,the comparison between string and string.it will be like if [ $1 = "String" ].But use the plugin to format,this will change to if [ $1="String" ],this behaviour will change the result of this expression.

Just got this alert from Windows Defender...

Please advise ...

Thanks

Is there a version of the Dockerfile formatter that this extension uses that we could call from the shell for usage on CI?

I have installed the shfmt binary release file in usr/local/bin/shfmt
I have also installed it using go get -u github.com/mvdan/sh/cmd/shfmt in $HOME/go/bin/shfmt
I tried set shellformat.path to both paths, but neither worked.

System: Ubuntu 16.04
Go version: 1.9.2
shfmt version: 2.2.0

I want to assign the dns result to dns_server by networksetup -getdnsservers Wi-Fi in the shellscript, but after I format it, the formatter replace `` into $(), show as below:

before format:

dns_server=`networksetup -getdnsservers Wi-Fi`

after format:

dns_server=$(networksetup -getdnsservers Wi-Fi)

Hi,

I've been using this extension for a while and I like it. But for Dockerfile, I prefer not to enable the auto formatting.

How to disable it?

Thanks.

Please take a look at the formatting of code below:

RETVAL='sqlplus -S ${V_ETL_TECH_LOGIN} <<EOF
${SQL_COMMAND}
EOF'

#lines below are green as if they were a part of text above
ERROR_CODE=$?

Lines below are no longer properly formatted (colored).

The good example of what I mean is to take a look at the Sublime Text editor code.
Well, to be honest, recently I realized that even in Sublime Text this example is wrongly formatted. It colorize commands like "if" but forget about variables.
From free editors I use now the best formatting is offered by Notepad++. Please take a look for examples there.

when I format in nginx.conf file, it reported an error. It like this

"}" can only be used to close a block

And then in the file, it displayed an error icon like wavy line.It can be very uncomfortable

Hi there,

I just noticed this, because my backup tool complained that it wasn't allowed to copy shfmt_v2.6.4_linux_amd64. I'm wondering what's with the strange permission of that file?

$ ls -la ~/.vscode-oss/extensions/foxundermoon.shell-format-6.1.1/bin | grep shfmt

drwxr-xr-x 2 peter peter    4096 Aug 16 13:01 .
drwxr-xr-x 4 peter peter    4096 Aug 16 13:01 ..
--wxrw--wt 1 peter peter 3005216 Aug 16 13:01 shfmt_v2.6.4_linux_amd64

Would it be possible for this extension to just use the Format Document command? I have a few other formatters for various other languages and they all use Format Document rather than having a separate command.

https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=foxundermoon.shell-format#overview

in details in market place, details page is still showing:

go get -u github.com/mvdan/sh/cmd/shfmt

please update that since above has been deprecated

Hi there, I have shfmt setup in Vscode to format on save. For some reason, the extension is trying to process a Vala file I am working on. Is there a way to disable for a certain file type?

I receive the notification to install shfm using the command go get -u github.com/mvdan/sh/cmd/shfmt.
But it doesn't work. I receive the following output.

$ go get -u github.com/mvdan/sh/cmd/shfmt
# github.com/mvdan/sh/cmd/shfmt
/opt/go/src/github.com/mvdan/sh/cmd/shfmt/main.go:156: undefined: io.SeekStart

Hi,

If I write for example:

days=$(echo $1 | perl -ne '/(\d*) day/ && print"$1"')

then the perl -ne is not formatted as expected

Is it possible to make = same class as if, then etc?

how does the recognition of applications work?

Using variables in the path causes an invalid error:

"shellformat.path": "${HOME}/go/bin/shfmt"

or ${env:HOME}

Error:

the config shellformat.path file not exists please fix it

However apart from the error, the extension works fine.

Hi, I'm trying out your Visual Studio Code Extension, but I can't get it to run. I guess I must be stupid.
I'm on Windows 10 1803 x64. Visual Studio Code:

I've downloaded "https://github.com/mvdan/sh/releases/download/v2.6.2/shfmt_v2.6.2_windows_amd64.exe" and placed it in a folder.
I then added the path to my custom user settings:

I've no idea what basic thing I'm doing wrong. Can you help me please?

Remove trailing slashes, causing RUN command to fail.

Before format:

FROM alpine:3.9
RUN apk add --no-cache \
    bash \
    python \
    py-pip \
  && pip install awscli --upgrade \
  && apk del py-pip
CMD ["/bin/bash"]

After format:

FROM alpine:3.9
RUN apk add --no-cache \
    bash \
    python \
    py-pip &&
pip install awscli --upgrade &&
apk del py-pip
CMD ["/bin/bash"]

Please add a license so that the terms of use for this open source software are clear!

Is there a flag to disable newline at EOF for bash scripts for shell-format.
When I disable the extension, the newline is not added.

When running format on Dockerfiles it removes all of the \ and line endings. This causes RUN commands in docker build to not work.

Runnning shell-format 4.0.4 and shfmt 2.6.3

https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/remote-overview

I just installed vs-shell-format in order to have a shellscript formatter available to my VSCode workspace. It looks like document formatting works fine (ie, ALT-SHIFT-F to format the entire document), but selection formatting is not (ie, CMD-K CMD-F on highlighted text). It would be ideal if this extension supported both document formatting and selection formatting. I'm not sure if this is a feature request (has not yet been implemented in this extension) or a bug report (ie, it should work but it is not).

My workspace info:

• MacOS 10.14.3
• VSCode 1.31.1
• vs-shell-format 4.0.4

Thank you!

Hello,
In VSCode I cannot set the increment anymore (my shfmt version is 2.5.1)
Whatever the -i number I used I have 5 whitespace in my script.
Please note

• In VSCode, all others options are working well (I tested -p, -ci, -h, -w ...)
• In VSCode "terminal windows" -i option is working well

I really think it is not linked to shfmt himself but it's integration in VSCode.
Perhaps something is running at 'Format document' after shfmt which change the indent to '5'

But I have no idea of how I can debug this.

Note than before this was integrated to the 'system' Format Document, I had no problem ... I am so sad ...

In order to help you, is there a way to debug this?

Thanks in advance for your help, regards,
Pierre

The code
#!/bin/sh
if [ "${a}" = "a" ]; then
echo "toto"
echo "toto" > tata
fi
the options:
"shellformat.flag": "-i 0 -p -ci -sr -kp",
"shellformat.path": "E:\programfiles\shfmt\shfmt.exe",
"shellformat.showError": true,

for example: you have script:
[ ... ] \
&& {...;}
after first run with -bn you'll get
[ ... ] \
\
&& {...;}
after second:
[ ... ] \
\
\
&& {...;}
and so on...

I use those setting:

  "shellformat.flag": "-i 2 -sr -bn",
  "shellformat.runOnSave": true,

Sometimes, when I save REAME.md, it will do format and repace ` with $() .

Hi, thanks for the extension!

shfmt supports using a .editorconfig to define settings. I have the following a the root of the project:

[*]
indent_style = space
indent_size = 4
binary_next_line = true
switch_case_indent = true

This works as expected using shfmt from the terminal, however using this extension those settings are ignored. Just wondering if this is expected?

when i format bash script, it will change echo $[ $1 * $2 ] to echo $(($1 * $2))
and it will occur error.

Hello, sorry I am a newly in Linux (and in english) and I have perhaps make a mistake.
I have updated VS code and it works fine.

I have kept shell-format extension (same place, same options) I have no notification nor errors nor problem in the VS logs.

But I cannot find shell-format command in F1, it does not appears. In terminal I wrote "shfmt -version" and it answer V2.5.0.

Please what can i do to retreive my command?

Thanks a lot,
Pierre

Hi
I install the shell-format 0.1.3 in the vscode but it don´t run.
I try to run in the console with format shell with shfmt option but the code in bash and ksh shell is the same and not formated.
My version of the softwares:

C:\Users\claud\t>ver

Microsoft Windows [versão 10.0.14393]

C:\Users\claud\t>go version
go version go1.8 windows/amd64

C:\Users\claud\t>shfmt -version
v1.2.0

Running the formatter in vscode throws

Cannot read property 'substring' of undefined

However, after running shfmt -w myscript.sh once from the command line manually, it worked fine.

The README mentions many donation methods, saying that they will make shell-format better. Please clarify that these donations won't reach shfmt, as I didn't even know anyone was receiving donations for software sitting on top of mine.

To clarify, I don't mind if you do take donations. But please make it clear that the donations may make the plugin better, but not the actual shell formatting software that it depends on.

would be a nice to have :)

Cheers :)

When the extension automatically updates shellfmt, focus is stolen by the Output window which shows up to report download process. I experienced this while writing a Rust file, and every time it reported the download progress percentage, my cursor was moved back to the output window, so I was forced to wait until the download finished.

1. What is the purpose of this extension frequently opening the VS Code terminal to run shell commands? (It has happened a few times already today, once when I opened VS Code and later apparently randomly.)

a. Why must you run the command?
b. Why so often?
c. Why in the VS Code Terminal?

2. Is there some other way to achieve any legitimate purposes that does not create such a negative user experience?
