Auto Format (Ctrl+T) fails silently if no board is selected

[FastThenLeft]

Describe the problem

Auto Format (Ctrl+T) is not working on Ubuntu 22.04 & IDE Version 2.0.0-rc6.

To reproduce

Write some unformatted code and press Ctrl+T or use Tools->Auto Format. Nothing happens.

Expected behavior

The code should be formatted like it was in IDE 1.

Arduino IDE version

2.0.0-rc6

Operating system

Linux

Operating system version

Ubuntu 22.04

Additional context

Is there a package I need to install perhaps?

Issue checklist

• I searched for previous reports in the issue tracker
• I verified the problem still occurs when using the latest nightly build
• My report contains all necessary details

I figured out what is happening. It's still a defect, but not as big.

If you do not select which board you are compiling for before you try to auto-format, then it does not work. If you select the board, then auto-formatting works.

Thanks so much for your valuable report @FastThenLeft, and especially for taking the time to share the update with your later findings. I'm happy to tell you that this has been fixed by #1019

If you would like to give it a try now, it is in the latest nightly build. The download links for the nightly build are listed here:

Otherwise, it will be in the next release of Arduino IDE 2.x
