[Solved] All SQL code being deleted when I try to format

@na5772, many thanks for your feedback. This is of great help.

I have the same issue.

 first it was a problem on reading writing in the directory, nothing happened, now with write permission, the SQL disappears.

i put everythin in c:\tmp to avoid problems with directory acces and reading /writing rights

cli.exe is in c:\tmp\

and there is a directory C:\tmp\SQLinForm where profile1_work.json.log is written to.

so command line is

"C:\tmp\cli.exe" -dbeaver ${file}

log is

08.10.2025 12:40:06
------------------------------
Number of args passed: 2
Args : -dbeaver
Read file failed : C:\tmp\SQLinForm\dbeaver.json${file}
Input FileName: ${file}
Output FileName: ${file}
Profile FileName: C:\tmp\SQLinForm\profile1_work.json
Read file failed : ${file}
Read input file failed
*

i have a symbolic link in the directory 

C:\tmp\SQLinForm\

but whatever i do, making a link called  dbeaver.json${file} which points to 

C:\tmp\SQLinForm

or to 

C:\tmp\SQLinForm\dbeaver.json

or to 

C:\tmp\SQLinForm\dbeaver.json${file}

and no matter where i put a file ${file}

in 

C:\tmp\SQLinForm\

or

C:\tmp\SQLinForm\dbeaver.jsondatei${file}

and pointing the link to this file

or pointing the link to the directory

I get the above error. So how has the link to be configured. Name of the link Source / Target of the link

by the way: Notepad++ formatter works , so i get the sql formatted.... 

Hi @na4711,

thanks for your feedback.

Is the formatting working when you do not work with links?

Could you please post a screenshot from c:\tmp directory and from s:\tmp\SQLinForm directory
