Yeah, I'm an idiot. I guess I should install prettier first ;)

Hmm. Still getting the same issue.

I've been investigating this issue and I've found that the primitive used to invoke the prettier command, call-process, has changed its API in emacs 24.

I guess this is kind of obvious, but is upgrading emacs a possibility? I understand that emacs 22.1.1 is what ships by default with MacOS, but it is a 10 years old release, and don't think we should be focusing on such old versions.

Let me know if you need help with it 😃

That works. Actually had a newer version installed already but was testing via command-line with the older version. Working find now. Thanks!
