I’m getting the "Extension - 'Prettier: Code Formatter' cannot format... error message in the status bar, but I haven’t been able to find any related entries in the logs. Where should I be looking for that?

Since a few days ago I can’t format any files, and the “Format document with…” command has disappeared from the command palette. All extension preferences are set to default, I’m not using eslint (directly, but react-scripts does have its own linting configuration), and there are no other code formatting extensions installed. I’m using wsl with the remote-wsl extension and react-scripts v3.0.1.

Whoops, I should have come back here and posted my solution! In my case it was a corrupted install, maybe from the sync settings extension. What I discovered is that the extensions were still hanging around even after I uninstalled them from the editor. They get cached in ~/.vscode-server/extensions. I deleted everything in that directory, opened up vscode and reinstalled my extensions, and everything started working again. Hopefully this solves your problem too.

@okovalov of course, I’m interested in the solution. How would you pollute this thread with a solution?
