Extra spaces are added at the beginning of sub tables

[Prudvi-data]

If a TOML file has two or more sub-tables then a simple re-write of TOML file is adding extra spaces to sub-tables.

Here is an sample tomlfile:

PlayerName = "Magnus"
PlayerAge = "31"
PlayerCountry = "Norway"

[World-Championships]
    TotalPlayed = "100"
    TotalWon = "90"
    TotalLost = "10"

    [World-Championships.Format.Classical]
        TotalPlayed = "20"
        TotalWon = "18"
        TotalLost = "2"

    [World-Championships.Format.Rapid]
        TotalPlayed = "30"
        TotalWon = "27"
        TotalLost = "3"

    [World-Championships.Format.Biltz]
        TotalPlayed = "50"
        TotalWon = "45"
        TotalLost = "5"

I am reading it and writing back with no additional changes.

from tomlkit.toml_file import TOMLFile

file_cont = TOMLFile('tomlfile').read()
TOMLFile('tomlfile').write(file_cont)

Here is the output of tomlfile after rewrite using above script.

PlayerName = "Magnus"
PlayerAge = "31"
PlayerCountry = "Norway"

[World-Championships]
    TotalPlayed = "100"
    TotalWon = "90"
    TotalLost = "10"

    [World-Championships.Format.Classical]
        TotalPlayed = "20"
        TotalWon = "18"
        TotalLost = "2"

        [World-Championships.Format.Rapid]
        TotalPlayed = "30"
        TotalWon = "27"
        TotalLost = "3"

        [World-Championships.Format.Biltz]
        TotalPlayed = "50"
        TotalWon = "45"
        TotalLost = "5"

So the last two subtables are extra indented, I see from where it is coming, will file a PR to fix it.

It looks like it could be an issue with your TOML file itself, or at least how its displayed on GitHub, it displays what should be tabs as individual spaces to get to the distance it should be. Using tabs and proper tabbing in a TOML file seems to let it save perfectly fine for me. I pasted the version of the TOML file I am using, which is using specifically tabs rather than any spaces. Hope this helps 😄

PlayerName = "Magnus"
PlayerAge = "31"
PlayerCountry = "Norway"

[World-Championships]
	TotalPlayed = "100"
	TotalWon = "90"
	TotalLost = "10"

	[World-Championships.Format.Classical]
		TotalPlayed = "20"
		TotalWon = "18"
		TotalLost = "2"

	[World-Championships.Format.Rapid]
		TotalPlayed = "30"
		TotalWon = "27"
		TotalLost = "3"

	[World-Championships.Format.Biltz]
		TotalPlayed = "50"
		TotalWon = "45"
		TotalLost = "5"
