BUG: formatting ejs creates wrong code

See original GitHub issue

Prettier 1.15.2 Playground link

--parser html

Input:

<html>
	<input <% if(!flag){ %> disabled <%}%> />
</html>

Output:

<html>
  <input <% if(!flag){ % />
  disabled <%}%> />
</html>

Expected behavior: when using prettier before it did not put any / at the end of any > symbol, but now it separates ‘%’ and ‘>’ (they together make ejs closing tag) puts slash before the > symbol, so the ejs file fails to compile!

expected output should be something like this:

<html>
  <input <% if(!flag){ %>
  disabled <%}%> />
</html>

I think this is probably an VSCode issue since it’s not reproducible via CLI. Can you open an issue in prettier-vscode?

We do not support ejs, and its syntax is conflict with HTML (the first > after <input will be recognized as input’s opening tag end marker in HTML). I have a similar explanation that can also be applied here, see https://github.com/prettier/prettier/issues/5428#issuecomment-437412183.
