Description
I'm using Spotless with palantirJavaFormat() and this code:
var result = switch (target) {
case "foo" -> "foo";
case "bar" -> "bar";
default -> "default";
};
is formatted like this:
var result =
switch (target) {
case "foo" -> "foo";
case "bar" -> "bar";
default -> "default";
};
where I wouldn't expect the new line after the = sign. Is this a bug, or do I have wrong expectations?
