vscode-python: cannot format with black
Issue Type: Bug
Hi,
I cannot format with black anymore. It used to work, but now nothing happens when I run ‘Format Document’.
Looking at the output window, I get a message like:
> ~\Path\to\black --diff --quiet .\myfile.py
cwd: .
Nothing happens and it’s not clear if black runs at all. However running the exact same command in e.g. the Anaconda prompt, I do get the appropriate diff.
I’ve set the black path explicitly in the settings. If I don’t set it, it still doesn’t work but I get another error:
Formatting with black failed.
TypeError [ERR_INVALID_ARG_VALUE]: The argument 'file' cannot be empty. Received ''
My black is installed in a conda environment.
