Not formating after VSCode updated to 1.5.0

[joubertvasc]

Issue Type: Bug

After update VSCode to version 1.5.0, prettier is not formating the code on file save.

Extension version: 5.7.1 VS Code version: Code 1.50.0 (93c2f0fbf16c5a4b10e4d5f89737d9c2c25488a3, 2020-10-07T06:01:33.073Z) OS version: Linux x64 5.8.10-050810-generic

Same here

[andystalick]

When I run "Format Document" from the command palette, I get a popup that says "There are multiple formatters for .ts files, please choose a default" If I choose Prettier, it formats manually, and formatOnSave works from there on.

[joubertvasc]

Great! It's working again. Thank's.

You can add:

"editor.defaultFormatter": "esbenp.prettier-vscode",

to settings.json and it will default to prettier on all files (js, jsx, vue, html, etc)

From there you can overwrite it with:

"[php]": {
  "editor.defaultFormatter": "junstyle.php-cs-fixer",
}

For language specific formatters.

This in .vscode/settings.json works, thanks!

I'm facing the same issue here. After update VSCode to version 1.5.0, prettier is not formating the code on file save. I tried to add "editor.defaultFormatter": "esbenp.prettier-vscode" in settings.json file but it does't work for me. I'm using Nuxt JS.

[marko-hologram]

I had this strange issue where it looked like Prettier was running, but it didn't actually format my TypeScript files on save. Files just didn't change at all, but I didn't get any errors in Prettier output.

If I used "Format Document With..." command, I would get this error in a notification:

Command 'Format Document With...' resulted in an error (No loader specified for extension ".cjs", so searchPlaces item ".prettierrc.cjs" is invalid)

Adding "editor.defaultFormatter": "esbenp.prettier-vscode" in my workspace settings.json file and doing "Developer: Reload Window" command suddenly made everything work again.

Thanks @kylemilloy

"editor.defaultFormatter": "esbenp.prettier-vscode"

Extension worked after putting above in settings.json

settings.json paths as below in your OS:

• Windows %APPDATA%\Code\User\settings.json
• macOS $HOME/Library/Application Support/Code/User/settings.json
• Linux $HOME/.config/Code/User/settings.json

[marrkeri]

(WINDOWS) CTRL + SHIFT + P

This helped me, but after some time I have to do Configure default again :)

[ntotten]

I'll try to look this week, but if somebody has time it would be great to figure out what changed in this VSCode release. I don't see anything in the release notes about changes to formatter config.

[code-for-coffee]

@ntotten may be worth looking into whatever affected the VS Code ESLint plugin. I use this plugin combined with yours to format. https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-eslint/ Edit:

This looks to be an issue where settings are nullified somehow. It is affecting more than one plugin but once the settings are replaced it seems to be fine. I also encountered this with the vscode-eslint plugin but updating my settings fixed both.

[jakesmith4]

I had the same problem. After the version 1.50.0 update prettier stopped formatting on save in my HTML. I put the above code in the settings.json and now everything is working just fine again. Here it is below:

"editor.defaultFormatter": "esbenp.prettier-vscode"

[chunkydonut21]

Add

"editor.defaultFormatter": "esbenp.prettier-vscode", 
"[javascript]": { "editor.defaultFormatter": "esbenp.prettier-vscode", "editor.formatOnSave": true } 

in settings.json. It fixed the issue for me.

i had same problem, but correct work in some files after add "editor.defaultFormatter": "esbenp.prettier-vscode", properties in setting json.

but, unfortunately does not work in .dart files

I believe Prettier doesn't support .dart files at all so it isn't really tied to this issue that's being reported.

You should probably refer to Flutter docs for dart files formatting (https://flutter.dev/docs/development/tools/formatting#automatically-formatting-code-in-vs-code).

Also, as some people mentioned above, you can target specific languages and apply another default formatter to them using this is an example:

"[php]": {
  "editor.defaultFormatter": "junstyle.php-cs-fixer",
}

This helped me as well, remember you have to click "Configure Default Formatter..." first and then select Prettier, as shown above.

[Darkzarich]

After the update it seems to ignore .eslintrc.js I have in my project folder. I have set rule

"quotes": [
    "error",
    "single",
    {
        "allowTemplateLiterals": true,
        "avoidEscape": true
    }
    ],

But after formatting it uses double quotes instead... Actually it seesm there is some conflict happening in the current version: it makes it single quoted and then makes it double quoted.

[breeze917]

thank you, guys.

i didn't know product do not support dart.file because it worked dart.file before update. anyway i modified setting by yours opinion, but does not solved.

thank you for comment .

[phyokyawdev]

Setting prettier.requireConfig value to false in Setting.json worked for me

[Leafl]

One thing that seemed to work for me was: (WINDOWS) [CTRL] + [SHIFT] + [P] (MAC) [CMD] + [SHIFT] + [P] searching for: >Prettier: Create Configuration File

(For Mac's the file may be hidden, to show hidden files: [CMD] +[SHIFT] + [.]

Then modifying that file based on what I had in the settings.json mentioning or under prettier

[wvankuipers]

Changing the config worked for one session, but after I restart the editor Prettier is again not formatting my files (on safe)

[sethlivingston]

Add

"editor.defaultFormatter": "esbenp.prettier-vscode", 
"[javascript]": { "editor.defaultFormatter": "esbenp.prettier-vscode", "editor.formatOnSave": true } 

in settings.json. It fixed the issue for me.

If you've tried a number of things to troubleshoot this problem, undo those things and try just these settings. It worked for me as others have said, especially when I removed some other settings that further broke the formatter.

[Deadweasel]

I have had this problem for a while now, and today I tried completely resetting everything. I removed the references in Settings. I uninstalled Prettier and reloaded VSCode. Weirdly, when I searched out the extension again, VSCode still showed the thing installed and enabled globally. Uninstalled again and reloaded, and this time it did not show as Installed already when I searched it out in the Marketplace again. Installed Prettier again, and immediately it just started working. No Settings editing, no reloading, it just. Freaking. Works.

THANK DOG! :D

[martimors]

Works on my Windows machine, never works on Ubuntu. It worked at some point but now I've tried all of the above steps and it just refuses to work.

[ntotten]

Can anyone report if this is still happening? It seems like this was an issue with VS Code that has since been resolved. I was never really able to reproduce this.

[wvankuipers]

I have not encountered the issue since my last comment (Oct 2020)
