Space Indentation Expected in ng lint

Question

I keep getting error "space indentation expected" while running ng lint. It is a quite amount of lines that having the same issue in my application. How can I solve this warning? Is anyone having face the similar issue ?

Answer 1

By default ng lint expects indentation to be 2 spaces. You can change these settings in your tslint.json.

If you want to use 4 spaces:

"indent": [
    true,
    "spaces",
    4
]

If you want to use tabs (4 spaces wide):

"indent": [
    true,
    "tabs",
    4
]

See this section of the docs for reference.

Answer 2

If anyone came here because they're seeing this in vscode despite having a perfectly good tab at the start of the line do this: Hit F1, type 'tabs' and select 'Convert indentation to tabs' and that should resolve it.
