Broken auto indent behavior in raw text editor #4650
Description
To Reproduce
- Create a "Compose" type project
- Set the compose provider to "Raw"
- Write several lines of YML
- Add indentations (tab key)
- Press Enter to add a newline while on an indented line
Current vs. Expected behavior
Expected
- Auto indents added after newlines should match the current indent level (2, 4, 6 spaces etc.)
Current
- It appends inconsistent number of spaces and messes up the indent level; sometimes it adds odd-numbered amount of spaces too

I'd like to take a stab at this. Will dig into the editor config and report back.

Reproduced this in the browser on the compose Raw editor. Concrete case:
ports:has 4 spaces of indentation.So the auto-indent is definitely miscomputing the indent (confirmed the 10-space output, no tabs involved).
The editor is CodeMirror 6 (
@uiw/react-codemirror+@codemirror/lang-yaml) inapps/dokploy/components/shared/code-editor.tsx, with no explicit indentation config. I tried the obvious fix — settingtabSize: 2inbasicSetupand addingindentUnit.of(" ")— but it did not change the behavior (still 10 spaces). That means the extra indentation is coming from the YAML language's indent service itself (@codemirror/lang-yaml), not from anindentUnit/tabSizemismatch, so it likely needs either a pinned/updated@codemirror/lang-yamlversion or an explicitindentServiceoverride rather than a one-line config tweak.I'm not opening a PR with a fix I couldn't verify actually works. Leaving this documented for a maintainer who can decide between (a) pinning the codemirror YAML packages to the versions from before the regression, or (b) adding a custom YAML

Note: there's already an open PR for this — #4828 (
fix(editor): consistent YAML auto-indent on newline). It likely supersedes my analysis above; deferring to that PR.fix(editor): consistent YAML auto-indent on newline
