This PR requires redhat-developer/vscode-xml#1176

Add 6 new splitAttributes values (auto, force, force-aligned, force-expand-multiline, aligned-multiple, preserve-aligned) that follow VS Code HTML's html.format.wrapAttributes naming convention for consistency. Legacy values splitNewLine and alignWithFirstAttr remain as deprecated aliases.

New SplitAttributes enum with helper methods (isAlwaysSplit, isExpandFirstAttribute, isAlignWithFirstAttr, isPreserve, isSplitOnOverflow) and hyphenated JSON name support via ALIASES map.

Fix NPE in DOMAttributeFormatter.getFirstAttrOffset() and XSIFormatterParticipant when ownerElement is null.

Includes 31 tests with TextEdit assertions and idempotency checks covering all new values, edge cases, legacy equivalence, closingBracketNewLine
interactions, and enum parsing.

Summary by CodeRabbit

Summary

  • New Features
    • Added XML formatting options to automatically wrap attributes, always split them across lines, align them with the first attribute, expand multiline tags, or preserve existing line breaks.
    • Attribute wrapping now follows the selected mode and available line width, with consistent indentation and closing-bracket placement.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved schema-location indentation, including when the containing element is unavailable.
    • Preserve modes now retain configured attribute line breaks.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The XML formatter adds attribute-splitting modes and applies their alignment, indentation, and line-width behavior. The change updates option parsing and adds tests for the modes and their interactions.

Changes

XML attribute wrapping

Layer / File(s) Summary
Splitting-mode options
org.eclipse.lemminx/src/main/java/org/eclipse/lemminx/settings/XMLFormattingOptions.java
SplitAttributes adds modes, parsing for camelCase and hyphenated names, and predicates for splitting and alignment behavior. Preserve-line-break handling now also applies to preserveAligned.
Formatter behavior
org.eclipse.lemminx/src/main/java/org/eclipse/lemminx/services/format/DOMAttributeFormatter.java, org.eclipse.lemminx/src/main/java/org/eclipse/lemminx/services/format/DOMElementFormatter.java, org.eclipse.lemminx/src/main/java/org/eclipse/lemminx/extensions/xsi/participants/XSIFormatterParticipant.java, org.eclipse.lemminx/src/main/java/org/eclipse/lemminx/utils/XMLBuilder.java
The formatter and builder use the mode predicates to position and wrap attributes. Closing-bracket placement and schema-location indentation also follow the configured alignment or indentation.
Wrapping-mode tests
org.eclipse.lemminx/src/test/java/org/eclipse/lemminx/services/format/settings/XMLFormatterWrapAttributesTest.java, org.eclipse.lemminx/src/test/java/org/eclipse/lemminx/utils/XMLBuilderTest.java, org.eclipse.lemminx/src/test/java/org/eclipse/lemminx/extensions/contentmodel/generator/XMLDocumentGeneratorAttributeFormattingTest.java
Tests cover mode parsing, formatted output, nested elements, line widths, closing-bracket placement, XMLBuilder output, and generated attribute formatting.

Merge Risk

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 948c2

The new wrapping modes work in the formatter. Generated XML (from XMLBuilder) can still differ from formatted output in force and aligned modes. Long lines can also wrap slightly late after a continuation. These are cosmetic formatting inconsistencies, not data-loss or crash risks, so the PR is mergeable with follow-up.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 948c2

The new options retain legacy values and affect document layout in the reviewed paths, without adding privileges or schema-fetching authority. Compatibility with the companion editor change and unusual direct API usage remains unverified.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — For the inspected production paths, document text and formatting settings influence edits to the current document or generated XML layout. No new credential, tenant, network, or data-store authority is established by these branches; this conclusion does not cover undiscovered external API consumers.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The existing formatter-off gate remains before element dispatch. Normal callers obtain attributes from the element being formatted, preserving document identity; the pre-existing public method still relies on caller-supplied input preconditions rather than enforcing document identity itself.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — The inspected transition contains mutable wrapping state within invocation-local constraints and edits. Per-element crossed-line reset and transfer limit propagation into siblings, and the PR does not change XMLFormatterDocument's failure or cancellation machinery. No newly persistent recovery state was identified; concurrent reuse of a formatter document remains unverified.

Aligned modes in XMLBuilder do not align with the first attribute.

The forceAligned and alignWithFirstAttr modes call indent(level + 1). That indent is one tab unit. It is not the column of the first attribute. For <root a='1', the main formatter puts later attributes at column 6. XMLBuilder puts them at column 2. Generated XML therefore differs from what the formatter produces, and a later format run changes it again. The test at XMLDocumentGeneratorAttributeFormattingTest.java Lines 70-74 now expects this unaligned output. The alignWithFirstAttr case also puts the first attribute on a new line, so the generated element does not match the legacy alignWithFirstAttr behavior.

To fix this, compute the alignment column from the start-tag line. Use the current line width after the element name plus one space, and pad the continuation lines with that many spaces.

Also applies to: 209-210

Auto seems to be working differently than it does for HTML. For this HTML:

<html>

<body>
    <beans val1="val1" val2="val2" val3="val3" val4="val4" val5="val5" val6="val6" val7="val7" val8="val8">
    </beans>
</body>

</html>

with "html.format.wrapAttributes": "auto" and "html.format.wrapLineLength": 80, the HTML extension formats it as

<html>

<body>
    <beans val1="val1" val2="val2" val3="val3" val4="val4" val5="val5"
        val6="val6" val7="val7" val8="val8">
    </beans>
</body>

</html>

But XML formats this:

<root>
  <element val1="val1" val2="val2" val3="val3" val4="val4" val5="val5" val6="val6" val7="val7" val8="val8" val9="val9">
  </element>
</root>

like this:

<root>
  <element val1="val1" val2="val2" val3="val3" val4="val4" val5="val5"
      val6="val6"
      val7="val7"
      val8="val8"
      val9="val9"
      >
  </element>
</root>

It seems like preserve-aligned doesn't work as expected. If I format this:

<root>
  <element val1="val1" val2="val2" val3="val3" val4="val4" val5="val5" val6="val6" val7="val7" val8="val8" val9="val9">
  </element>
</root>

then I get

<root>
  <element val1="val1" val2="val2" val3="val3" val4="val4" val5="val5"
    val6="val6" val7="val7" val8="val8" val9="val9">
  </element>
</root>

Notice how val6 isn't aligned with val1.

If I do the same thing with HTML, val6 is aligned with val1

Account for the attribute value when it remains on the continuation line.

When no formatter participant changes parentConstraints, the continuation branch keeps the attribute on the line without subtracting its value length. The next attribute can therefore wrap later than maxLineWidth permits. Keep the explicit subtraction in the wrap branches and apply the same subtraction in this branch.

  </element>
</root>

then I get

<root>
  <element val1="val1" val2="val2" val3="val3" val4="val4" val5="val5"
    val6="val6" val7="val7" val8="val8" val9="val9">
  </element>
</root>

Notice how val6 isn't aligned with val1.

If I do the same thing with HTML, val6 is aligned with val1

It should be fixed:

<root>
  <element val1="val1" val2="val2" val3="val3" val4="val4" val5="val5" val6="val6" val7="val7"
           val8="val8" val9="val9"> </element>
</root>

Found a few more things, mostly with the XMLBuilder

.addAttribute("c", "'3'", 0, false)
.selfCloseElement()
.toString();
assertEquals("<root a='1'\n b='2'\n c='3' />", xml);

Shouldn't there be a newline before the a?

When I do "Generate XML from grammar" with "xml.format.splitAttributes": "force-aligned",, the first attribute is put on the line after

Here is the grammar I'm generating from to test this:

<grammar xmlns="http://relaxng.org/ns/structure/1.0"
    datatypeLibrary="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-datatypes">
    <start>
        <ref name="root-element"/>
    </start>
    <define name="root-element">
            <element name="root-element">
                <attribute name="ref1"></attribute>
                <attribute name="ref2"></attribute>
                <attribute name="ref3"></attribute>
                <attribute name="ref4"></attribute>
                <attribute name="ref5"></attribute>
                <attribute name="ref6"></attribute>
                <attribute name="ref7"></attribute>
                <attribute name="ref8"></attribute>
                <attribute name="ref9"></attribute>
                <attribute name="ref10"></attribute>
                <attribute name="ref11"></attribute>
                <attribute name="ref12"></attribute>
                <attribute name="ref13"></attribute>
            </element>
    </define>
</grammar>

The generated XML looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?xml-model href="file:///home/davthomp/Documents/Projects/TestXML/hasManyAttributes.rng"?>
<root-element
    ref1=""
    ref2=""
    ref3=""
    ref4=""
    ref5=""
    ref6=""
    ref7=""
    ref8=""
    ref9=""
    ref10=""
    ref11=""
    ref12=""
    ref13="">
</root-element>

But I was expecting:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?xml-model href="file:///home/davthomp/Documents/Projects/TestXML/hasManyAttributes.rng"?>
<root-element ref1=""
              ref2=""
              ref3=""
              ref4=""
              ref5=""
              ref6=""
              ref7=""
              ref8=""
              ref9=""
              ref10=""
              ref11=""
              ref12=""
              ref13="">
</root-element>

angelozerr force-pushed the feature/split-attributes-wrap branch from 17ce86c to 39aa025 Compare October 9, 2026 16:43
Add 6 new splitAttributes values (auto, force, force-aligned,
force-expand-multiline, aligned-multiple, preserve-aligned) that follow
VS Code HTML's html.format.wrapAttributes naming convention for
consistency. Legacy values splitNewLine and alignWithFirstAttr remain as
deprecated aliases.

New SplitAttributes enum with helper methods (isAlwaysSplit,
isExpandFirstAttribute, isAlignWithFirstAttr, isPreserve,
isSplitOnOverflow) and hyphenated JSON name support via ALIASES map.

Fix NPE in DOMAttributeFormatter.getFirstAttrOffset() and
XSIFormatterParticipant when ownerElement is null.

Includes 31 tests with TextEdit assertions and idempotency checks
covering all new values, edge cases, legacy equivalence,
closingBracketNewLine
interactions, and enum parsing.
