Update current indentation spaces size in WebStorm 2016

Question

I need to switch from a 2 spaces indentation style to a 4 spaces one within an automatically created Ionic project.

I'm running WebStorm 2016.1 on Mac OS X.

I already tried to change:

WebStorm | Preferences | Code Style | JavaScript | Tabs and indents

and play with indent size, tab size, use tab character etc... but no change seems to have effect on existing (and new) JavaScript files.

Any idea about how to achieve it? Might some general setting prevent this changes to take effect?

Answer 1

Do you have .editorconfig file in your project? Settings from there will overwrite your Code Style settings (and that is expected behaviour -- that's the whole nature/purpose of EditorConfig plugin).
