Is there a setting in RStudio v1.3.911 to keep trailing whitespace in multi-line strings after saving?
For example, after saving a .R file, the space after SELECT is removed, breaking the query.
glue::glue("SELECT
city, state...")
To remedy the issue, I can add \\ after the space, but it makes the query print on one line.
Interesting problem; perhaps platform related.
As a stopgap you can consider opening whitespace - I like my queries aligned, with the city 3 spaces from SELECT, which would align with FROM etc... Opening whitespace is kept even when trailing is dropped.
Obviously not a solution, but perhaps a workaround?
It looks like glue() has a trim = argument whose default value is TRUE -- does it do what you want if you set it to FALSE?
If you put the space character at the beginning of the second line you can "see" that it's worked:
glue::glue("SELECT
city, state...", .trim=FALSE)

In Project Options > Code Editing, there's a Strip trailing horizontal whitespace when saving setting that caused the issue. That setting is under Global Options too, Global Options > Code > Saving, and it is not selected. When I create a new project via usethis::create_project(), the global option is ignored and it is selected in the new project.
