Formatting Ruby throws "Cannot read property 'split' of undefined"

See original GitHub issue

Issue Type: Bug

I’m trying to use the Prettier extension to format Ruby code. The Prettier extension works fine with TypeScript, and the prettier command-line tool works fine with Ruby.

I open a new file in VSCode and give it the contents

  x = 2

I then change the language mode to Ruby, and execute the command Format Document, it correctly removes the leading 2 spaces. However, if I create a new file in my project app/models/test.rb with the same contents and try to Format Document, I get a VSCode error alert that says:

Cannot read property 'split' of undefined

There is no backtrace, and I can’t find any more information about what could be generating this error.

Extension version: 2.3.0 VS Code version: Code 1.39.2 (6ab598523be7a800d7f3eb4d92d7ab9a66069390, 2019-10-15T15:33:00.827Z) OS version: Darwin x64 17.7.0

Today I saw a Prettier warning (that I assume was introduced in a new version) saying that my Ruby version is no longer supported. I made sure it’s loading the right version of Ruby, and now formatting seems to work fine for these test cases. Feel free to close (or leave open if there’s some missing logging to address here). Thanks!
