Is there a free / open source code tool for formatting M programs to ensure consistent formatting? There are tools for other languages, but I don't know if one exists for M. Thank you very much, in advance.

I don't know of one either. George James Serenji for VS Code is free, but not open source I don't believe. It is an excellent syntax highlighter for that platform, but doesn't enforce any coding/format style.

Thanks Mark. I'm looking for a tool we can insert in a Continuous Integration pipeline to ensure consistent formatting of M programs. Joel Ivy's tool at https://github.com/kench/M-Tools might work.

That looks interesting. The parser would have been helpful when I was writing the Cache -> GT.M converter!

Hello Bashkar,

could you please give an example (inpit => output) what the tool should do please?

The goal is to take M code written by different programmers and get it into a consistent format. I don't have many specific rules in mind, but the format should be consistent in order to improve readability, e.g.:

- Non label lines to start with a single tab
- Each dot level is a dot followed by a single space
- Consistent capitalization of commands, functions, and ISVs

I've written an Extension for Visual Studio Code, which provides a Debugger, Syntax-Highlighting, Help with Function-Signatures and Formatting Help.
It has also a new Feature to toggle between short and long M Commands.(Open M-File and press Ctrl-E) It's not tested too much but looks good so far.

Good day !
I'm interested in this topic. I myself developed an editor for M using the CodeMirror utility and FCGI W. Bantel. (special thanks to him!)
I can't connect to the GT.M database from your application in any way - i do everything according to the instructions as described. I don't see a list of routines ... I'm working on a client with VS Code Windows. The server is on CENTOS 8. What am i
doing wrong?

MDEBUG just provides the control over the Debug-Process. I'm working with the routines-directory over a samba share mapped to Drive y: on windows.
Tell me if this works for you too.

The Problem is, that the Debugger doesn't know where to find source files in your case. So you have to use the Samba share or alternatively the Remote-SSH Extension for VS-Code.
If you use Remote SSH you have to edit the launch.json and set the "localRoutinesPath" to "/var/lib/yottadb/r/" for Example.
