Steps to reproduce

I did got extension C# FixFormat installed. I uninstalled it and after that i constantly just receive “Sorry, but there is no formatter for ‘csharp’-files installed”. Feels like omnisharp doesn’t install that part any more, i tried to reinstall omnisharp without success.

I didn’t find any errors or messages from omnisharp log or vscode developer console. Didn’t try debugmodes though.

Expected behavior

Format is invoked.

Actual behavior

Format is not invoked and error “Sorry, but there is no formatter for ‘csharp’-files installed.” appear in vscode.

Ah got it, there was line "csharp.format.enable": false, in my user config, after cleared that it started working again. C# fixformat extensions seems to set it, tested to install it after cleared user settings …

However other issues mentioned here may not be releated to this. Should this issue be closed or?

I checked that and it is true. I don’t have any other extensions installed. When u install it by default it should be set true. I removed any data related to extensions before I installed.
