* TRAMP and Ruby mode, tabs not being honored [not found] <20171115034048.GA24198@rmail> @ 2017-11-15 5:17 ` Kevin Faulkner 2017-11-19 10:40 ` Michael Albinus 0 siblings, 1 reply; 3+ messages in thread From: Kevin Faulkner @ 2017-11-15 5:17 UTC (permalink / raw) To: help-gnu-emacs Hello, I tried to resolve this issue on freenode at #emacs, we made some progress but we were not able to reach a resolution in TRAMP mode. The problem I have is that over TRAMP mode while editing a chef (Ruby .rb) file remotely, I enter Ruby mode by nature of editing that file. When I try make a new block and press <tab> (or just press return from the new block) it inserts two spaces. When I am editing previously written lines/blocks, I can press tab and it will be a tab character. My company mandates tabs (despite my best efforts to change that) in this repository. While on IRC I added the hook which seems to work (suggestion found here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/38901225/9903). It changed the behavior locally (a tab is a tab), but not over TRAMP, which is what I'm really looking to achieve. I have made a .dir-locals file and tried many variations on the options but it generally looks like this: ```:: ( (setq indent-tabs-mode t) (ruby-mode . ((indent-tabs-mode . t) (add-hook 'ruby-mode-hook (lambda () (setq indent-tabs-mode t) (setq tab-width 2))) (tab-width . 3)))) ::``` I know for a fact that the dir-locals file is being read and respected because I can change the tab-width to be crazy like 10 and it works. I would prefer not to make a secondary script to change the spaces into tabs, because I feel this is a configuration/user issue. I can include my .emacs (init) file, if you like, I don't have anything too extreme included but here is part of it: ```:: '(bmkp-last-as-first-bookmark-file "/home/kfaulkne/.emacs.d/bookmarks") '(custom-enabled-themes (quote (misterioso))) '(enable-remote-dir-locals t) '(package-selected-packages (quote (dired+ elscreen bookmark+ org-notebook async-await magit leanote elpy dokuwiki-mode dokuwiki))) '(safe-local-variable-values (quote ((ruby-indent-tabs-mode . t)))) ;;This was because I kept adding various options I had kept finding. '(tramp-default-method "sshx")) ::``` Please excuse any inefficiencies, I have I have tried diligently in vain for a full day and I hope that I might get this resolved. Thank you all for your time. -Kevin ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

Thank you all > for your time. I have tried to reproduce the problem with the most simple configuration. I have written a file ~/tmp/foo.el: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- (setq indent-tabs-mode t tab-width 3) (add-hook 'ruby-mode-hook (lambda () (setq indent-tabs-mode t tab-width 2))) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Then I have opened Emacs 27 with a test ruby file, simulating the sshx method: $ ~/src/emacs/src/emacs -Q -l ~/tmp/foo.el -l tramp /sshx::~/tmp/estcall.rb When I edit estcall.rb, and press <RET> after a block, <TAB> is inserted.

It depends. If you want ruby-mode always use these settings, you could put the code into your .emacs. Directory local settings are useful for a kind of "project specific" settings, i.e. if the settings shall be applied only to files at a given location. > What was I doing incorrectly? > I have tried to remove the "-Q", and I still load the file in using -l, > and I don't think it works, does that mean it could be one of my > packages that I have installed? I have a few, as i think you can see in > the configuration post above, but I don't think they are too out of the > ordinary. Should I consider upgrading? Using recent package versions might help. If it doesn't, you must bisect your config. Comment out all loaded packages and half of your .emacs, start Emacs again. If the problem still exist, it is in the active part of your .emacs, otherwise it is in the commented part. Continue to bisect with the non-working part, and so on. If it isn't your .emacs, then load one package after the other, and retest. This way you shall be able to identify the culprit. > Again, thank you for your time Michael (and others reading this) > > -Kevin Best regards, Michael. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
