NoLineWrap
Since Checkstyle 5.8
Description
Checks that chosen statements are not line-wrapped. By default, this Check restricts wrapping import and package statements, but it's possible to check any statement.
Properties
| name | description | type | default value | since |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| tokens | tokens to check | subset of tokens IMPORT , STATIC_IMPORT , MODULE_IMPORT , PACKAGE_DEF , CLASS_DEF , METHOD_DEF , CTOR_DEF , ENUM_DEF , INTERFACE_DEF , RECORD_DEF , COMPACT_CTOR_DEF . | PACKAGE_DEF , IMPORT , STATIC_IMPORT , MODULE_IMPORT . | 5.8 |
Examples
To configure the check to force no line-wrapping in package and import statements (default values):
<module name="Checker">
<module name="TreeWalker">
<module name="NoLineWrap"/>
</module>
</module>
Examples of line-wrapped statements (bad case):
package com.puppycrawl. // violation 'should not be line-wrapped'
tools.checkstyle.checks.whitespace.nolinewrap;
import com.puppycrawl.tools. // violation 'should not be line-wrapped'
checkstyle.api.AbstractCheck;
import static java.math. // violation 'should not be line-wrapped'
BigInteger.ZERO;
class // violation 'should not be line-wrapped'
Example1 {
public // violation 'should not be line-wrapped'
Example1() {}
public void // violation 'should not be line-wrapped'
doSomething() {}
}
To configure the check to force no line-wrapping only in import statements:
<module name="Checker">
<module name="TreeWalker">
<module name="NoLineWrap">
<property name="tokens" value="IMPORT"/>
</module>
</module>
</module>
Example:
package com.puppycrawl. // ok, PACKAGE_DEF is not part of the tokens
tools.checkstyle.checks.whitespace.nolinewrap;
import com.puppycrawl.tools. // violation 'should not be line-wrapped'
checkstyle.api.AbstractCheck;
import static java.math. // ok, STATIC_IMPORT is not part of the tokens
BigInteger.ZERO;
class
Example2 {
public
Example2() {}
public void
doSomething() {}
}
To configure the check to force no line-wrapping only in class, method and constructor definitions:
<module name="Checker">
<module name="TreeWalker">
<module name="NoLineWrap">
<property name="tokens" value="CLASS_DEF, METHOD_DEF, CTOR_DEF"/>
</module>
</module>
</module>
Example:
package com.puppycrawl. // ok, PACKAGE_DEF is not part of the tokens
tools.checkstyle.checks.whitespace.nolinewrap;
import com.puppycrawl.tools. // ok, IMPORT is not part of the tokens
checkstyle.api.AbstractCheck;
import static java.math. // ok, STATIC_IMPORT is not part of the tokens
BigInteger.ZERO;
class // violation 'should not be line-wrapped'
Example3 {
public // violation 'should not be line-wrapped'
Example3() {}
public void // violation 'should not be line-wrapped'
doSomething() {}
}
