Why is Reformat and Cleanup not reformatting the code?

Hello Abdu,

`Reformat and Cleanup` does reformat the code according to the selected profile. Once you selected the desired profile, you are free to call the separate action `Silent  Reformat and Cleanup` (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+F). It allows you to avoid the profile selection dialog by using the previously selected one. You can find more details here.

`Reformat code` allows to reformat the only opened file. It might be useful in the case of huge solutions, as instead of scanning the whole solution every time `Reformat` is called, the only open file is being reformated.

You might find the recently added feature interesting. You can enable the `Reformat on save` feature from `File | Settings | Tools | Actions on Save`.

I want to reformat code  for all the files in a folder and its subfolders.

I right click on the top folder and select Reformat and Cleanup and select a profile, hit OK. Nothing happens. I tried all the profiles.I open a file and it's not reformatted. I hit ctrl-alt-L and select Include Subdirectories. The file is still not reformatted. 
I hit ctrl-alt-shift-F on the folder and the file is still not reformatted.

The only way I can reformat the file is to open the file and hit ctrl-alt-L inside it. I don't want to do this for every single file.

How do I reformat all the files in a single action?

Apologies for the late reply.

There was an issue, please try updating Rider or try a workaround
There was an issue when the reformatting behavior was broken in some circumstances. It was fixed with Rider 2021.3 EAP7. What version of Rider do you use? (`Help | About`)

If the build number of Rider is less than 213.5605.83, there are two options:

1. To update Rider to the [latest](https://www.jetbrains.com/rider/download/).
   
   
2. To try a workaround with a sample folder:

• If the target folder is named with only lower or upper case (`folder`/`FOLDER`), please try renaming it to (`Folder`);
• Clear the caches `File | Invalidate caches | Turn on all the checkboxes | Invalidate and Restart`
• Try reformatting this folder via ` Right-click on the folder from Solution Explorer | Reformat and Cleanup | Directory {} | Full Cleanup | Analyze`

If the above instruction does not help
Would you mind trying to execute the following actions:

• Enable `CodeCleanup` trace scenario via `Help | Diagnostic Tools | Choose Trace Scenario | CodeCleanup`
• Select the whole solution or the exact project from the `Solution explorer`;
• Press `Code | Reformat and Cleanup` (right from Rider top menu, not via the shortcut)
• Select the flag `Solution/Whole solution` or `Project {prj}`;
• Select the profile `Full Cleanup`; (please make a fullscreen screenshot of Rider at this moment and share it with us);
• Ensure the issue is reproduced and let me know the exact timestamp.
• Collect Rider logs via `Help | Collect Logs`;
• Disable CodeCleanup trace scenario.

Please send the generated archive to us via the Upload Service and let me know the Upload ID.

I will be waiting for your response.

It seems to be working now. Thanks.

I am happy  I was able to help you.
