How to make Rider 2019.1.1 to NOT format whitespace in all file? Follow
Completed
Hi,
I am using JetBrains Rider 2019.1.1 in MacOS with C#, and every time I alter a source file, git detects a lot of whitespace changes in ALL file that I did not do that are very annoying.
The files are from a repository, and I do not know in which IDE were written (VS 2017 probably), but I do not want to reformat the file's whitespaces. I just want to modify the parts I am interested at.
How can I tell Rider to stop messing with the whitespaces ?
I do not want to ignore whitespace changes as GitHub diff can do, I want Rider to stop making such changes.

Hi!
Please try to set 'File | Settings | Editor | General | Strip trailing spaces on Save' to None and on
File | Settings | Editor | Code Style | C# | Spacestab change thePreserve Existing Formatting > Extra spaces insidesetting toLeave all extra spaces and tabs.Is that are you looking for?
I do not have "Settings" but "Settings for New Solutions" in the "File" menu.
I went to "JetBrains Rider" menu, and click on "Preferences" (which went to the same place) and changed that setting, but Rider keeps messing all the whitespaces.
I just realised it is messing with the line breaks, probably because the files originated in a windows system. However I cannot find an option to stop Rider from changing them.
Could you please update Rider to the latest 2019.2.2 version?
You can also try to in the `
Commit Changes` window the `Ignore whitespaces (and empty lines)`setting.Could you please attach some examples (files or screenshots) illustrating the problem?
