CC0014 should place the three elements of the ternary on separate lines if the total length would exceed 72 characters.

See original GitHub issue

         if veryLongCondition(withALongArgumentList) Then
             aVariable = aLongfunctionName(withAnotherLongArgList)
         else
             aVariable = anEvenLongerfunctionName(withYetAnotherLongArgList)
         end if

Current output after fix applied:

    aVariable = if(veryLongCondition(withALongArgumentList), aLongfunctionName(withAnotherLongArgList), anEvenLongerfunctionName(withYetAnotherLongArgList))

Expected output after fix applied:

    aVariable = if(veryLongCondition(withALongArgumentList),
                          aLongfunctionName(withAnotherLongArgList), 
                          anEvenLongerfunctionName(withYetAnotherLongArgList))

I wonder if a better option for the long line issue would be having a refactoring which takes a method with multiple parameters on a single line and breaks them up on multiple lines adding named parameters. It wouldn’t necessarily help the case of ternary operators, but might be useful as a separate tool.

@giggio I too have quite a lot screen area (two side by side 60cm/24" monitors) but long lines are still a pain to read.
