Sorry, but there is no formatter for 'reason'-files installed

See original GitHub issue

I’m trying to develop an app with create-react-app and reason-scripts and it works fine, but for some reason, I’m unable to format my Reason React code. I have editor.formatOnSave set to true. If I try ‘Format Selection’ using Ctrl+K Ctrl+F with code highlighted, I get the message in the title.

Is there some specific configuration I need to get the formatting to work?

Is there any more information I need to provide to clarify the problem?

UPDATE I’m using WSL. I installed Reason using the instructions here. I completely removed my instance of WSL and installed a fresh copy and that didn’t change anything.

OS: Windows 10 VS Code Version: 1.19.3 Plugin Version: 1.0.21

Native Windows support (without WSL) using bsb-native is also planned but as with WSL support it is not yet available in release. If those instructions you linked to are not working I think the only other real alternative would be to use a VM for the moment. Maybe @superherointj can help get your configuration working though.

Yeah, @freebroccolo while I didn’t have much luck with WSL I decided to partition a bit of my hard drive and create an Ubuntu boot. All working wonderfully. 😃
