I am using Espressif IDE version 3.1.0, and ESP-IDF version 5.3.2.
When I am typing code, it is not indenting the closing braces, or the new line for content, on statements such as 'if' or else': it puts them at the start of the line.
But if I format the document with ctrl-shift-f, it fixes the indentation.

Here is typed code:

Code: Select all

static void test_function(void)
{
	if (true) {
//this is not indented!
}else {
//this is not indented!
}
if(true){
	//I manually indented this and the brace below
	} else {
//This is still not indented!
}
}

Here is after fixing with ctrl-shift-F:

Code: Select all

static void test_function(void) {
  if (true) {
    // this is not indented!
  } else {
    // this is not indented!
  }
  if (true) {
    // I manually indented this and the brace below
  } else {
    // This is still not indented!
  }
}

I have the default .clang-format document at the root of my project.

Code: Select all

# We'll use defaults from the LLVM style, but with some modifications so that it's close to the CDT K&R style.
BasedOnStyle: LLVM
UseTab: Always
IndentWidth: 4
TabWidth: 4
PackConstructorInitializers: NextLineOnly
BreakConstructorInitializers: AfterColon
IndentAccessModifiers: false
AccessModifierOffset: -4

How can I enable the IDE to do the proper indent formatting while typing code?

Thank you
