Atom-beautify: Support for Groovy

[rgcruz010]

Atom Beautify could not determine a supported beautifier to handle this file with grammar "Groovy" and extension "groovy"

[Glavin001]

I will need a beautifier that supports Groovy. If you have one, let me know.

A quick search turned up: https://github.com/spidasoftware/format

Is there any way to vote for this ticket?
I also need Groovy beautifier for Atom.

[biancarosa]

Is anyone working on that? I could try to take a look at it.

[Glavin001]

@biancarosa I am not working on this currently. Please feel free to submit a Pull Request. If you have any questions, let me know. Thank you!

I'd recommend reading https://github.com/Glavin001/atom-beautify/blob/master/docs/add-languages-and-beautifiers.md

I'd like Groovy support as well :)

Approaching 2 years of being open... :/

[biancarosa]

Sorry, I said I would take a look but in the end I couldn't.

Maybe someone else wants to give it a try?

Groovy and Gradle support to be specific. Thanks.

[Glavin001]

We need to find a suitable third-party beautifier for Groovy/Gradle. Looks like https://github.com/spidasoftware/format is no longer maintained. For all Groovy/Gradle users, please search for and test different beautifiers. When you find one, post a link here, and create a Pull Request to integrate with Atom-Beautify. Let me know if you have any questions!

[stramel]

Any chance you could pull from https://github.com/groovy/groovy-eclipse/tree/master/ide/org.codehaus.groovy.eclipse.refactoring?

[Glavin001]

@stramel generally we aim for either a Node.js implementation of a beautifier, or worst case is a beautifier we can execute from command-line. I'm not familiar with Groovy so I'll leave this research up to you and others. If you are able to do something like groovy --format --file FILE_NAME to beautify the file then Atom-Beautify will be able to support it 👍 .

Anyone else here because they write Jenkins pipeline scripts aka the Jenkinsfile?

[bgiorgini]

Plus 1! Please add support for Jenkinsfile

This will be very useful for those of us who writes groovy script and shared libraries to extend Jenkins functionalities or pipelines

Groovy is not much different from javascript. It won't be wrong to say that json version comes in square brackets in it [key: value, nest : [nnest: [a1,a2,a3]]].

Is there a way to ask 'Beautify' to treat *.groovy as *.js and do it's job? @Glavin001

[saurabh-sp-tripathi]

Well I have a workaround (which could be considered solution IMO). @Glavin001
Do as following:

• Packages -> Atom-Beautify -> settings -> 'View code'
• Open file(ctrl+B: javascript.coffee) : /.atom/packages/atom-beautify/javascript.coffee
• Find array 'extensions' //it's line:17 right now.
• add "groovy" to it
• You are done!!! :smiley: njoy

 ###
  Supported extensions
  ###
  extensions: [
    "js",
    "groovy"
  ]

********* EDIT : Better solution *************
Follow the link to atom treat groovy file as js
https://discuss.atom.io/t/how-do-i-make-atom-recognize-a-file-with-extension-x-as-language-y/26539

[Glavin001]

@saurabh-sp-tripathi : In the past 11 days of usage, have you found treating Groovy files as JavaScript has worked well? If so, please feel free to submit a Pull Request. Recommended reading: https://github.com/Glavin001/atom-beautify/blob/master/docs/add-languages-and-beautifiers.md

[saurabh-sp-tripathi]

@Glavin001 I think that might not be needed, a better solution would be this - https://discuss.atom.io/t/how-do-i-make-atom-recognize-a-file-with-extension-x-as-language-y/26539

_note: take care cson format, it didn't work at first when I identified that i have placed my config in wrong place_

TIP If you don't want to change configuration, open Command Palette and type "beautify javascript".

I attempted reformatting an entire baseline using the Javascript formatter, and while it did get me to the end goal, it's not perfect. JS formatter leaves a few groovy-isms in a bad state:

... { x ->
becomes

... {
  x - > 

object?.attribue becomes object ? .attribute
test ?: value becomes test ? : value
variable ==~ /regex/ becomes variable == ~/regex (The most insidious one, because it compiles but behaves differently!)

There might have been a few more.. but the bottom line was those kinds of special operators added spacing that made code not compile. So, if you're willing to check those after running the JS beautifier, then - go for it!

[tomwhoiscontrary]

I would also appreciate Groovy/Gradle support, but i have to say, abusing the JavaScript beautifier works remarkably well. Great hack, @saurabh-sp-tripathi!
