Problem with uneven-indent rule

Consider following code snippet:

*** Settings ***
Documentation  Suite doc


*** Keywords ***
My Keyword    # robocop: disable
    [Documentation]  Some doc
    No Operation

It does not report any issues. But if we change line 6th and decrease the number of spaces between the keyword name and the comment (which is a Robocop disabler) by 2, so the line looks like this:

My Keyword  # robocop: disable

then we have this issue reported by Robocop: indent_robocop.robot:7:5 [W] 1007 Line is over-indented (uneven-indent) which should not happen.

Fixed mentioned issues in linked PR.

@matusaurio I’ve created separate issue for your report - since I think it would be best to solve it by introducing new way of defining block disabler. See here #431

Thank you for data. The way it should be designed: both settings and node content (such as template args, keyworc calls) should use different ‘look ups’ for correct indent length. But it looks like it use the same look up. Look up is created by chosing most often used indent in given keyword. So:

Keyword
               Longer indent
               Longer indent
   It will be reported because it uses different indent than most popular one
               Longer indent

That’s why it’s reporting under-indented issue when you remove one space -> because the next two lines are used as “most popular indent” to be compared to.
