There is no selection formatter for 'ruby'-files installed.

See original GitHub issue

Your environment

vscode-ruby version: 0.18.0
Ruby version: 2.5.0
VS Code version: 1.24.1
Operating System: Mac OS 10.13.5

And … the issue

I’m sorry! I know I’m breaking apart from your Issue template, but this seems more like a Feature Request than a Bug.

I just worked very hard to add Rubocop to a Ruby project so I can finally use vscode-ruby to format my Ruby code in VSCode. So now the file formatting action (OPT-SHIFT-F) will finally work.

However, it looks like selection formatting (CMD-K CMD-F) still doesn’t work. When I run that command, I get the following error message:

There is no selection formatter for ‘ruby’-files installed.

My hunch is that support for selection formatting still hasn’t been added to vscode-ruby; I could not find any Issues that existed talking about selection formatting. Regardless, I wanted to report this, at it would be very nice if this extension had selection formatting support.

Thank you!

It is working but for rubocop or standard you can’t have any linter errors (due to the return code). #434 handles that bug.
