Java formatting of nested method calls

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to get nested method calls formatted in a certain way. Here's a sample piece of code it is formatted by the formatter:

private final ZonedDateTime weekStart = ZonedDateTime.of(LocalDateTime.of(2017,
    Month.NOVEMBER,
    12,
    9,
    0,
    0
), ZoneId.of("America/New_York"));

 

And here are my code style settings for method calls:

What I'd like is for it to be formatted like this, with the outer call chopped first and the nested calls in one line (as long as they fit):

private final ZonedDateTime weekStart = ZonedDateTime.of(
    LocalDateTime.of(2017, Month.NOVEMBER, 12, 9, 0, 0),
    ZoneId.of("America/New_York")
);

 

I've tried various combinations of settings but can't get it to do this.

Any suggestions?

Also note that the "New life after '('" setting doesn't seem to be honoured... the first parameter is always put on the same line as the open-parentheses if there's space!

Assuming that you start with a single line (no wrapping) and set the following options under Settings|Editor|Code Style|Java|Wrapping and Braces:

- Method call arguments: Chop down if long,
  - New line after '(': on
  - Place ')' on new line

will give exactly the formatting you expect. I also have "Keep line breaks" = "on".

Yup this turns out to be a bug when "Keep line breaks = off" see https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-158487 I have turned that on as a workaround until I see a fix.

Actually - even with "Keep line breaks" on, I still get the outer call wrapped preferentially:

private final ZonedDateTime weekStart = ZonedDateTime.of(LocalDateTime.of(
        2017,
        Month.NOVEMBER,
        12,
        9,
        0,
        0), ZoneId.of("America/New_York"));

This is uglier than my desired formatting above, but at least it's consistent.
