'Unexpected indentation' when indent_style=tab

[bfichter]

I believe this is the same/similar to 1245, but I was asked to make a new issue so here it is.

Expected Behavior

Be able to use tabs and break out function calls, function declarations, and class declarations into new lines.

Observed Behavior

When using tabs, I get 'Unexpected indentation' errors wherever I break out function parameters or class fields out into new lines. ktlint always expect 3 more indents than it should (e.g. "Unexpected indentation (expected 4, actual 1)").

If I explicitly set indent_size=1, ktlint seems to expect the correct indentation level, but still reports an error (e.g. "Unexpected indentation (expected 1, actual 1)").

Steps to Reproduce

Minimal class example:

class SomeClass(
	private val field1: String,
	private val field2: String
)

.editorconfig:

[*.{kt,kts}]
indent_style=tab

ktlint output:

SomeClass.kt:2:2: Unexpected indentation (expected 4, actual 1)
SomeClass.kt:3:2: Unexpected indentation (expected 4, actual 1)

Your Environment

• Version of ktlint used: 0.43.2
• Name and version (or code for custom task) of integration used (Gradle plugin, Maven plugin, command line, custom Gradle task): command line
• Operating System and version: MacOS 11.6

Hi @paul-dingemans what is the fix here? Couldn't identify it

I am not sure what your question is.

If you can reproduce this issue with latest ktlint version (0.45.2) then please create new issue.
