+1 that it started happening when I upgraded my VSCode, but @sumanssaurabh 's fix worked perfectly for me too.

[kayandra]

+1 here.... I was going crazy thinking I'd somehow broken my vscode installation.

[JoarDev]

+1 first time trying the prettier extension and this happened :(

[oezguerisbert]

Here is a small quickfix.
Create a file in the root of the project; .vscode/settings.json

{
  ...
  "prettier.prettierPath": "./node_modules/prettier"
}

thank you so much, fixed it!

[immois]

It also works by adding it to the VSCode configuration like this:

Looking for Prettier Path and adding ./node_modules/prettier

[jtapeg]

The correction must be made by vscode, the problem is in the extension installation

This solution doesn't work well if the file is not together with node_modules

[jtorresv232]

Why is this closed, what is the fix?

[apmoronez]

Why is this closed, what is the fix?

it literally says "fixed by #3030 "

I had this error, on a code that actually used a variable named uid, so i was super confused XD

Hello,

I am currently experiencing an issue with the Prettier module. It appears to have stopped functioning correctly for me starting from version 9.12.0. The plugin is now prompting me to npm install the module either locally or globally.

As a temporary workaround, I have downgraded to version 9.10.4, which has allowed me to continue using the module as usual. However, this is not a long-term solution.

I have attempted to follow the solution suggested by @sumanssaurabh, but unfortunately, it did not resolve the issue for me.

Could anyone provide some insight or assistance on this matter? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

[Soviut]

@Hibrix-net sorry to hear you're having a problem but please don't use closed issues to report new issues. Please report a new issue.

[Hibrix-net]

Hello @Soviut,

Thank you for your response. I apologize for any confusion, but I was under the impression that this issue was still open as it doesn't explicitly state that it's closed. Could you kindly clarify why this issue is considered closed? Also, could you please point me to the solution that resolved the original issue? This information will help me understand if my problem is indeed different and warrants a new issue.

Thank you for your assistance.

[farzadso]

@Hibrix-net It was closed because the issue was solved in a recent update and the proposed workaround is no longer required.

The latest version is v9.16.0, right? but I'm still encountering the issue. I'm curious, am I the only one still experiencing this problem?

[farzadso]

@Hibrix-net

I think it's best to do the follow-up in a separate issue as your issue seems a bit different (asking you to do some sort of npm install). And yes the latest version is v9.16.0.

I also recommend adding logs/screenshots to your issue.

[Hibrix-net]

Hello @Soviut,

Thank you for your response. However, I believe there might be a misunderstanding. The issue I'm experiencing is not distinct but rather a continuation of the problem discussed in #3019. If you refer to that thread, you'll notice that the problem described there is identical to mine, including the prompt to install the Prettier module.

Many users in this thread are suggesting the solution from #3019, and this issue is also considered a duplicate of that one. Therefore, I believe my issue is not separate but a persistent instance of the original problem.

I hope this clarifies the situation. I appreciate your understanding and assistance.

[Soviut]

Thank you for your response. I apologize for any confusion, but I was under the impression that this issue was still open as it doesn't explicitly state that it's closed.

It's closed in the timeline and says "Closed" at the top of the issue and in the header sticky header.

However, for this issue and #3019 all you need to do is fully restart VSCode after it's been updated to the latest version v1.79.2 (or later) AND the prettier plugin for VSCode has been updated to the latest version v9.16.0 (or later). If this doesn't work for some reason, restart your entire computer.

If it still doesn't work and you see a Prettier in the bottom right corner of VSCode is red, then start a new issue, paste your log and any relevant screenshots.

Hi,
Yes, I already tried what you said several times but didn't worked. If you look at the issue #3019 its seems I'm not the only one who had to downgrade to a previous Prettier version to make it work.

Thanks anyway for your patience.

@Hibrix-net Did you apply the prettier.prettierPath workaround from this issue? If so, remove it: The workaround broke extension version 9.16. This is being tracked in #3041.

Yes, I tried it then removed it but still having the issue with versions above the 9.10.4 + VS Code latest version installed on my Windows 10 machine.
