Formating a `*.erl` file will cause error about vscode_erlang HOT 8 CLOSED

Hi Tan,

Can you provide "drop.erl", in order to reproduce it on my laptop.

thanks.

No problem. The code here is from book Introducing Erlang published by O'Reilly:

-module(drop).

-export([fall_velocity/2]).

fall_velocity(Planemo, Distance) when Distance >= 0 ->
    case Planemo of
        earth ->
            math:sqrt(2 * 9.8 * Distance);
        moon ->
            math:sqrt(2 * 1.6 * Distance);
        mars ->
            math:sqrt(2 * 3.71 * Distance)  % no closing period!
    end.

Quite an easy code with rebar.config in the project:

{plugins, [rebar3_format]}.

I'm quite new in Erlang, so maybe there is something wrong with my project settings. But I can't find further information in the repo, so I open an issue here to ask whether is my own problem.

Thanks for such a great project and quick reply.

Manual command works with formatter now:

rebar3 format --files ./drop.erl

Fixed by #224

I can confirm that the issue should be closed. Thanks!

A strange phenomenon. I create a new file records.hrl which comes from book Introducing Erlang:

-record(planemo, {name, gravity, diameter, distance_from_sun}).
-record(tower, {location, height=20, planemo=earth, name}).

After I save with formatting it, the file becomes empty. It seems elfmt clear it all. But if I use manual command:

rebar3 format --files ./records.hrl

It will correctly format the file (see spaces around =):

-record(planemo, {name, gravity, diameter, distance_from_sun}).
-record(tower, {location, height = 20, planemo = earth, name}).

Is it special case for elfmt to process *.hrl files?

Solved. Thanks!
