Indent.log from latexindent.pl

[paulohaacke]

I would like to disable the creation of the indent.log file. I tried editing the defaultSettings.yaml and using the command line options for latexindent.pl, but it seems like there is not option to disable it completly.

I found a workaround, but i think its kinda ugly. I created a script that calls "latexindent.pl -g /dev/null" and my latex-formatter plugin calls this script instead of latexindent.pl.
With these changes, when i run my script directly into a tex file, the tex file gets idented and occurs the following error: "Can't open /dev/null ...", this solves my problem since the indent.log file is not written anymore and the file is correctly indented, but i think there should be a better solution.

Would anyone have a better solution?

You might like to look at the -c option, see http://latexindentpl.readthedocs.io/en/latest/sec-how-to-use.html#from-the-command-line

I'd say this issue is about latexindent, and isn't about the latex-formatter project.

How is this an issue for latexindent? You can disable the generation of the log files by adding flags, but in this extension you don't have any setting related to adding flags.
