Extension 'ESLint' is configured as formatter but it cannot format 'JSON with Comments'-files

Question

Extension 'ESLint' is configured as formatter but it cannot format 'JSON with Comments'-files

josephdpurcell opened this issue 2 months ago · 4 comments

I have these versions:

eslint 8.56.0 (same issue on 8.57.0 and 8.57.1)
prettier 3.2.5
vscode 1.95.1 (Universal)
vscode eslint extension 3.0.10 (dbaeumer.vscode-eslint)
ESLint server running in node 20.18.0

I have set ESlint plugin as the default formatter in my vscode settings and useFlatConfig set to false:

  "editor.defaultFormatter": "dbaeumer.vscode-eslint",
  "eslint.experimental": {
    "useFlatConfig": false
  },

When attempting to format a .eslintrc.json file in VSCode I get this error:

Configure Default Formatter

Extension 'ESLint' is configured as formatter but it cannot format 'JSON with Comments'-files

Here is a screenshot:

When I select "Configure" I only get JSON Language Features as an option, here is a screenshot:

If I run eslint via the CLI it returns a 0 exit code but doesn't modify the file:

$ eslint .eslintrc.json --ignore-pattern '!.eslintrc.json' --fix
$ echo $?
0

Note: I had to add the --ignore-pattern flag since it was ignoring it.

If I run that with the debug flag I get this output... (click to expand)

How can I use ESLint to format JSON files with comments?

Answer 1 · 2024-11-06T21:39:50.000Z

It's plausible that this issue goes away on version 9. I know I'm using .eslintrc.json instead of the proper flat file version (see link).

Perhaps what I'd like to know still is whether or not eslint version 8 is able to validate json files with comments at all?

My current plan is to have this in my VSCode settings:

  "editor.defaultFormatter": "dbaeumer.vscode-eslint",
  "[jsonc]": {
    "editor.defaultFormatter": "esbenp.prettier-vscode"
  },

So that by default VSCode ESlint will be used except json files with comments will use prettier.

You need to allow eslint to register itself as a formatter. This is not on by default because most users use other formatters. The setting is eslint.format.enable. Have you tried setting this to true.

Oh! I missed that setting. I'll check that and report back, thank you so much for offering something I can try!

Answer 4 · 2024-11-08T18:24:42.000Z

Confirmed! The error I reported goes away when I set this in my VSCode settings:

  "eslint.format.enable": true,

I totally missed that setting, thank you for pointing that out!

Now, I still have a different issue which is that the contents are not actually getting formatted. Both CLI and VSCode if I turn debug on (VSCode setting is eslint.debug: true I see this error:

2024-11-06T14:13:36.549Z eslint:source-code-fixer shouldFix parameter was false, not attempting fixes

I assume this is caused by being on an older version of eslint which is out of scope for this project. I believe the next step for addressing that issue is likely to upgrade where these types are officially supported, see also https://eslint.org/blog/2024/10/eslint-json-markdown-support/.

I will close this issue since the issue I reported is resolved. Thank you again!
