Why is Qlty not showing the specifics of formatting issues?

Unlike linters, which are designed to output violations of rules, auto-formatters are instead simply rewrite your code on disk to adhere to match their defined standard. When Qlty analyzes your code, we run the auto-formatters in sandbox directory. This allows us to check if the auto-formatted result matches the current version of the file in you working directory, without overwriting it. If a change is detected in auto-formatters result, Qlty will emit an issue with the following description:
Incorrect formatting, autoformat by running qlty fmt
No additional information is available so we cannot reference line numbes or specific formatting issues. The solution is to run the auto-formatter by running qlty fmt locally and commit the result. Additionally, by integrating auto-formatters into your workflow, you can eliminate formatting issues before they make it to your PRs.
