Prettier-vscode: Extension 'prettier.prettier-vscode' is configured as formatter but not available. Select a different default formatter to continue.

After updating to V3 of plugin, altering all my references to prettier.prettier-vscode, and moving preferences into package.json now after an update it says Extension 'prettier.prettier-vscode' is configured as formatter but not available. Select a different default formatter to continue.

I am going to need logs or something to figure out what is going on. Please provide clear repro steps, a sample repo, and output logs. Github issues aren't for airing your complaints for use of a free product that volunteers create on their weekends and free time. If you don't like it, uninstall it, send a pull request, or at a minimum provide a clear bug that we can use to figure out what is going on.

@ntotten Sorry, I did not mean to be a jerk!

I have just spent 2 days reporting bugs to various projects non stop as they all stopped working at once. It has been a nightmare. I am going to just give up now and try to get back to what I was meant to be doing 2 days ago. I literally just worked for free for 2 days chasing open source bugs 9-5, hope you understand the frustration, I am really grateful for all the work you have done! Thanks!

Understand, I know that can be frustrating. Apologies for the inconvenience around the extension. I did revert the big change around configuration so you can use the previous settings. Lots of feedback on that and it was clear that it was too disruptive of a change.

I am going to continue chasing bugs down and i am confident we'll get these issues ironed out soon. This release made a lot of underlying changes that will be good in the long run. I closed approximately 100 outstanding bugs through these changes, but obviously in the process introduced a few. Please do open a new issue when you have a chance. I will try to figure out what is going on with your other open issue soon - after I am done with my day job. :)

prettier.prettier-vscode is an alternate reality extension. (v3 test version)
Did you remove it and installed esbenp.prettier-vscode instead ? In which case you would have to rename your default formatter

[ntotten]

Good point @CiGit. I didnt even notice that. They are currently the same version, but you will need to use one or the other and have your settings match.

[David-Else]

I removed esbenp.prettier-vscode and installed prettier.prettier-vscode. Now after an update VS Code does not recognize prettier.prettier-vscode and allows me to select esbenp.prettier-vscode instead which seems to have appeared.

I publish a Fedora install script and changed the package reference to:

    code_extensions=(
        prettier.prettier-vscode
   )

Was this the wrong thing to do, should I change it back to esbenp.prettier-vscode? Thanks.

I was missing a global prettier install, and I forgot after reinstalling my machine

npm install --global prettier
