To Reproduce

• Open my tsx-ts-mode buffer
• M-x prettier-mode
• "Could not sync Prettier config, consider setting ‘prettier-mode-sync-config-flag’ to nil: (error "Prettier timed out after 20 seconds")"

Customizing prettier-mode-sync-config-flag prevents the error but then the buffer isn't prettified on save nor manually

Additional context

Was working until I updated my packages by deleting elpa/ then restarting Emacs. I hadn't updated since about a month or 2 I believe

[jscheid]

Hmm, that's no good. Could you check the *prettier (local)* buffer and see if there's anything interesting in there?

[angrybacon]

That's the thing, I have no such buffer and the only error I have is the one I quoted above

The issue happens both with the global mode and with the minor mode

[jscheid]

M-x emacs-version?

[jscheid]

Ah wait that's in your info already, you're running 30.

That must be it, see #120

[angrybacon]

Thanks I'll have a look 👍

Running into the same issue, also after a package update, with emacs version 28 GNU Emacs 28.2 (build 2, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.20, cairo version 1.16.0) of 2023-04-26

Do you have the changed tramp code mentioned in the other ticket?

[angrybacon]

For posterity, I can confirm that reverting to 29 is an ok workaround. Most of what people on 30 want is already on 29

$ brew install emacs-plus@29 --with-native-comp

Do you have the changed tramp code mentioned in the other ticket?

Yes, I did have it, as I noticed that I also had updated manually to the latest tramp package when I updated prettier. So there is an inconsistency between the latest tramp package and latest prettier then presumably. Removing my updated tramp and defaulting to the version which is used in built in emacs 28 fixed it, thanks a lot for all the quick help!

@albinus are you able to shed some light on the current situation and future plans? Is this a breaking change on purpose and if so, do you have a suggestion for how we would best create compatibility with both old and new API?

tramp-accept-process-output is not a public function, it could change internally in an incompatible way. So you might contact the Tramp team on the respective mailing list in order to check what we could do with prettier.el.

[jscheid]

@albinus thanks for your reply. I've been subscribed to the Tramp mailing list for many years and from that I know that you are the Tramp team. Assuming that we're not going to discuss changes to Tramp in order to accommodate this package, I don't understand why we can't continue this conversation here? As far as I can tell there's really only one question that I would need answered: what is the correct way to accept output from a process that might be running remotely? Dankeschön 😄

Oh shit. This is a secret! :-)

It is very uncomfortable to discuss and debug things here. And I dislike MS tools (github is run by MS, yes?)

I recommend to use plain accept-process-output instead of tramp-accept-process-output.

Thanks Michael, much appreciated.

@angrybacon @ruderngespra @amake want to give this a try? https://github.com/jscheid/prettier.el/suites/12705302516/artifacts/681968960

It's a zip file containing a tarball that you can install with M-x package-install-file. It'll hopefully work on 30 / 28 with latest tramp sources, without any additional workarounds.

[amake]

@jscheid Thanks, that works for me.

(Note in case others have trouble: you can M-x package-install-file the .tar or the fully expanded directory, but not the .tar.zip.)

[angrybacon]

@jscheid Yup, works for me too thanks a lot for taking the time to look into this
