How can I force IntelliJ, when working on a remote project, to use the specified format specified in an XML file?
I noticed that no matter what settings I put, the formatter in IntelliJ will not honor my settings and will instead use the default formatter.
I have tried going on the remote host and changing the settings, change the settings in the cache, and changing the settings on my guest machine. Nothing seems to stick.
When I am connected to remote via IntelliJ, I can go to preferences and confirm that my desired format settings for Java are set. However, when I format, again, the default formatter is used.
What ended up working was creating the project on my local machine. This creates a .ijwb and related bazel project files.
I then moved this .ijwb folder to my remote machine. This fixed the issue and used the correct bazel options and formatter options.
