The defaults are seemingly different in different format checkers about precommit HOT 4 CLOSED

Can styler be configured to break the lines?

Not yet, and it's the most upvoted feature request. #247

Can lintr be configured to allow longer lines ~100 characters

Possibly, I am not a {lintr} expert. But this should be in the docs of {lintr}. .lintr config file is respected in our pre-commit hooks.

Maybe I am mistaken, but I don't expect any lintr errors after styler runs successfully.

True. Please open issues in {lintr} or {styler} if you have concrete problems. We are working towards compatibility.

All of the above are not {precommit} specific problems though. I just happen to work on {styler} and with contributors of {lintr} so I answered from that perspective. So these are the repos to go to if you experience problems that are unrelated to pre-commit.

As per the efaults are seeminlgyy different in different format checkers, {precommit} does not set any defaults, we just fall back to the defaults of {styler} and {lintr} in that case.

Thank you for the replies and the hint to the .lintr config.

While these issues are indeed caused by upstream projects, the problem surfaces with their combined use in the default precommit configuration. If there is already an ongoing effort to make the two tools compatible, I don't see a reason to add additional issues. Feel free to poke around in this PR (enabling lintr) to see all the issues live - you can probably better judge what's worth reporting and what not.

Ok. Thanks. {styler} won't rename your variables etc. These are linting issues that can't be auto-fixed.
