`no_tab_linter` error in one R script, but not in others with unequal indent.

[Fred-Wu]

I was reading someone else's codes, and in one of the scripts, a linter error appeared in the entire script and suggested not to use tab. The auto indent space is 4.

So I started to test it with the following codes in 3 files.

Simple test on one script with lots of no_tab_linter error.

In another file without no_tab_linter error, and the auto indent space is 2.

I also used a completely new script, and this time the auto indent space is 4 without linter error.

This is the first time I encounter this. What could be the possible reason?

Could it be a problem of the lintr package? https://github.com/r-lib/lintr#available-linters

Does the last file contain tabs or 4 spaces? If it's 4 spaces, you'll probably want r-lib/lintr#497 to be merged so a new indentation_linter() allows you to control indentation style.
