keep_trailing_newline: false and include

[chadxzs]

Hello. I like keep_trailing_newline: true (the default in _envops) but my editor always adds a trailing newline to all my files and it breaks places where I'm using {% include 'foo.jinja' %} because the newline is rendered. I have searched for a way to suppress this newline only for includes but have not found it. Any ideas?

Tell your editor to stop adding trailing new lines to Jinja files 🙂

It's a common configuration, even if I set mine to stop, coworkers will have this happen inevitably.

Pesky editors 😄 Yeah that's a good point.

I have worked around the issue for now by switching from including a template to importing a macro. This let me keep the newline configuration as-is.

Fwiw, I used to use when:false on prompt variables with a jinja template as the default. This was much nicer, as I could simply use variable syntax throughout. Disappointed this behavior was changed.

Add a - at the end, to remove trailing whitespace:

-{% include 'foo.jinja' %}
+{% include 'foo.jinja' -%}
