+1 that it started happening when I upgraded my VSCode, but @sumanssaurabh 's fix worked perfectly for me too.

[kayandra]

+1 here.... I was going crazy thinking I'd somehow broken my vscode installation.

[JoarDev]

+1 first time trying the prettier extension and this happened :(

[oezguerisbert]

Here is a small quickfix. Create a file in the root of the project; .vscode/settings.json

{
  ...
  "prettier.prettierPath": "./node_modules/prettier"
}

thank you so much, fixed it!

[immois]

It also works by adding it to the VSCode configuration like this:

Looking for Prettier Path and adding ./node_modules/prettier

[jtapeg]

The correction must be made by vscode, the problem is in the extension installation

This solution doesn't work well if the file is not together with node_modules

Has anyone had this happen in an environment other than ssh? I could not reproduce this on my local machine (MacOS).

I had that problem in my local WSL2 environment.

[sosukesuzuki]

Thanks, but I think WSL's VSCode uses ssh internally. Right?

I'm not sure if you use SSH . However, it is inferred from VSCode's connection to work remotely.

./node_modules/prettier

This fixed it, thanks

I have managed to solve it in the following way:

1. Install Prettier as a global dependency

npm install -g prettier

2. Obtain the installation path of global npm dependencies (/home/user/.nvm/versions/node/v12.16.1/lib/node_modules/ in my case)

npm root -g

3. Navigate to VSCode Prettier Path configuration section and paste the path + /prettier)

I did the same thing, but didn't comment it as a solution as it's hacky and not documented.

Alguém já viu isso acontecer em um ambiente diferente do ssh? Não consegui reproduzir isso na minha máquina local (MacOS).

Just install Debian or Ubuntu on Windows WSL and try to use prettier with the latest version of VSCODE

[basicdays]

I'm also having this happen when using Docker and remote Dev Containers. Host machine is MacOS.

[anrondon-microsoft]

+1 Having the same problem with WSL Ubuntu on a Windows host

[ffimnsr]

Same problem the said temporary fix above doesn't work with npm/pnpm workspace installed prettier.

Thanks! This fixed the issue for me.

[hrenaud]

Inside a devcontainer:

1. do npm install -g prettier
2. do nvm install XX.xx.yy ← change XX.xx.yy to the node version to needed
3. in VSCode settings or in .devcontainer/devcontainer.json set

   "prettier.prettierPath": "$NVM_DIR/current/lib/node_modules"
