Kotlin output is line wrapping strings

I assume this happens in Java as well but it appears the plugin is introducing new lines, possibly as some form of automatic line-wrapping on spaces.

Simple example:

val alphabet = (65..90)
    .map { it.toChar() }
    .joinToString()

buildConfigField("String", "Example", "\"$alphabet\"")

Results in:

object BuildConfig {
    const val Example: String = "A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V,
            W, X, Y, Z"
}

Note the newline breaks the string and the comma after V is at index 99 making me believe that something is forcing 100 character wrapping.

The simple fix is what I show in my 2nd post, if you string replace spaces with the · character, your output will not wrap other than your explicit \n characters. This is a feature of the underlying library used by this plugin, Kotlin Poet.

This should probably be in the readme though if you haven’t already added it. Seems your fix didn’t work which admittedly I haven’t gone back to try yet as my workaround is still working in our project.

Feel free to open a PR for the README.md, you know exactly what we should put on it 😅

Oh hey @ToxicBakery, thank’s a lot! I just didn’t get your solution, it now works!
