Well, not sure if it is the correct way to resolve but,

After changing the prettier path settings to the ones below, it does the trick. "prettier.prettierPath": "./node_modules/prettier"

Thank you!

It’s nice that there is a workaround, but I was hoping this issue would be fixed. I switched from Insiders to the standard VSCode release when this started happening, and now the standard VSCode has just started to have the same error.

Now I’ll have to apply the workaround, and every indication here makes me think it will work fine. But I think it’s important to note that this is still an error that should be fixed.

In my case, it seems like a problem with resolver. The extension is not working only in Monorepo.

dist/extensions.js:1:37517

From:

var l=e+I[a]

To:

var l=e+'/index'+I[a]

Can confirm that just dropping the path here has solved the issue for now, was getting the same error:

+1 thanks @Dnouv, your solution worked for me. Previously I had no issues in the non-Insiders VSCode in the same codebase.

To add keywords for those searching this out: I’m sure a lot of people are trying Insiders because of the GitHub Copilot Chat and wondering why prettier is broken.

In case it helps those troubleshooting I’ll add how to see Prettier log output:

ensure the Terminal view is open (<kbd>Ctrl/⌘</kbd> + <kbd>`</kbd>)
open the “OUTPUT” tab and choose “Prettier” from the select/drop-down element

You’ll see any error or success output here when you try to format a file with prettier.
