Smart handling of lines that are too long

[pitosalas]

In my code I have some lines which are too long. Perhaps it's a long f string for output or a long expression. It would be nice if ruff did some smart things to deal with the too long lines in a way that looks good. For example turning the string into several concatenated strings or something. Is that possible?

I have tried various pyproject.toml settings but they don't seem to have any effect. Maybe that's my problem>?

This is available in Black's preview style (psf/black#182) and we are working on an implementation for it — but it's a difficult feature to get correct.

@pitosalas are you using ruff's formatter or is this feedback related to E501 (line-too-long) rule?

[pitosalas]

@MichaReiser Honestly I am not sure. This is my first use of ruff. But my intent is that the formatter notices a line too long and does semi-intelligent things with indentation and even notational changes to make the line not be too long anymore.

@pitosalas - Have you tried running ruff format instead of ruff check? That will attempt to wrap lines for you.

Gonna close for now in the absence of more info, but recommend trying out ruff format!
