how to confirm proper configuration

Thank you for putting this together. Using “format on save” and the like is a big productivity gain for me. I’ve recently migrated to lsp… (like many). I’m still getting my “bearings”. I’m doing some work with css and html. I was using the online prettier parser and decided to see if I could get it running in nvim.

Prettierd is working (status running). I understand where the port and instance id are located to call it via a TCP request.

This said, in my nvim config I’m using the following documented snippet:

-- Prettier
local prettier = require("prettier")
prettier.setup({
    bin = 'prettierd', 
    formatCommand = 'prettierd "${INPUT}"',
    formatStdin = true,
    env = {string.format('PRETTIERD_DEFAULT_CONFIG=%s', vim.fn.expand('~/.config/nvim/utils/linter-config/.prettierrc.json'))},
    filetypes = {
        "css", "graphql", "html", "javascript", "javascriptreact", "json", "less", "markdown", "scss", "typescript", "typescriptreact", "yaml"
    },
})

As a “first go” I chose to use the null-ls plugin as an interface:

--
-- Linters and formatters that do not have an LSP interface; use null-ls to
-- bridge the gap.
local null_ls = require("null-ls")
require("null-ls").setup({
    capabilities = capabilities,
    on_attach = on_attach,
    sources = {
        null_ls.builtins.diagnostics.flake8, -- python
        null_ls.builtins.formatting.rustfmt, -- rust
        null_ls.builtins.formatting.brittany, -- haskell
        null_ls.builtins.diagnostics.yamllint, -- yaml
        null_ls.builtins.formatting.prettierd -- fast prettier
        -- null_ls.builtins.code_actions.eslint, -- html, css, js
    }
})

The nvim :checkhealth reports all is good with prettierd:

null-ls: require("null-ls.health").check()
========================================================================
  - ....
  - OK: yamllint: the command "yamllint" is executable.
  - OK: prettierd: the command "prettierd" is executable.

Yet, when I hit the <leader>f command, I don’t see the css “straighten-up” (i.e., clean-up the formatting).

The mapping is is used by many lsp:

    -- bind conditional on server capabilities
    if client.resolved_capabilities.document_formatting then
        buf_set_keymap('n', '<Leader>f', '<cmd>lua vim.lsp.buf.formatting()<CR>', opts)
    elseif client.resolved_capabilities.document_range_formatting then
        buf_set_keymap('n', '<Leader>f', '<cmd>lua vim.lsp.buf.formatting()<CR>', opts)
    end

Have I failed to “connect all the dots”? How can I tell that prettierd has been invoked when I call <leader>f?

Thanks in advance for any pointers.

Brilliant minds think alike. Here is the link to the prettier issue

Oh interesting, do you have a link to the issue in the prettier repo? I can keep an eye on it and implement any option that they add in prettier.

If there’s a flag in prettier to skip the ignore file, we could eventually support it when #237 is resolved.
