Default indentation for Python has changed after migration to the new workspace

Direo — Wed, 20 Jul 2022 09:34:23 GMT

In our old workspace default identation was 2 spaces. In our new one it has changed to 4 spaces.

Of course you can manually change it back to 2 spaces as we used to have, but it does not work.

Does anyone know how to solve this issue?

Found one solution. To change identation in every single old notebook which you gonna chnage by selecting edit-> set Python identation.

Still would be nice to make this change for all notebooks at once.

setting it for all notebooks won't be possible as the setting is notebook level. Users might have python/scala/sql/R notebook. So if this has to be set for all notebooks then other notebooks might be affected and would end up in error. So having these settings to notebook level is better.

You do have that option of Settings --> User Settings (Admin Settings ? not sure - I don't have admin access) --> Notebook Settings --> Default indentation for Python cells (in spaces)

This will change the indentation for newer cells, but existing ones, I am not sure.

Maybe someone from databricks can confirm...

On the other hand if it does change, it will be pain considering it will show up as a change in git history and we will have to push everything again ? Not sure...
