Format document not running prettier?

See original GitHub issue

What’s the best way to diagnose this issue? I have prettier installed and enabled. It used to work fine. I don’t know when exactly it stopped working. When I have for instance this:

  <p>test</p>
<Modal     open={this.state.addingReview}        ></Modal>

And run Format Document, it results in this:

<p>test</p>
<Modal open={this.state.addingReview}      ></Modal>

Whereas running prettier from the command line results in:

<p>test</p>
<Modal open={this.state.addingReview} />

@lorensr Seems the extension did not start. Can you take a look at dev console? Help -> toggle developer tools -> console

Try reinstalling:

Uninstall extension
Close VSCode
Be sure $HOME/.vscode{,-insider}/extensions/esbenp.prettier-vscode-1.2.2 doesn’t exist
Install extension

What happened in my case, is VSC update deleted some of my user settings, one of which was the formatOnSave , which is why the extension seemed broken ( as i’m used to format on save ).

Setting the property back was easy enough. If that’s the case, check if you have "editor.formatOnSave": true set within the settings.
