Parser of type apex does not exist. Here is a .prettierrc we are using which formats the apex files just fine.

hi @test01bodacious
I'm a DevOps manager for my company, we use prettier and salesforce.
For your usecase, i think you have to change your package.json to:
{
"name": "<name>",
"version": "1.0.0",
"author": "<Email>",
"devDependencies": {
"@prettier/plugin-xml": "^3.4.1",
"prettier": "^3.4.2",
"prettier-plugin-apex": "^2.2.2"
},
"repository": {
"type": "http",
"url": "....."
},
"scripts": {
"prettier": "prettier"
},
"dependencies": {
"sfdx-plugin-source-read": "^1.4.0"
}
}
I suggest to you to use the
sfdx-plugin-source-readto retrieve easy and correctProfile
After the package.json update, execute in terminal:
npm install -y
to apply changes
and change the .prettierrc to:
{
"plugins": ["prettier-plugin-apex", "@prettier/plugin-xml"],
"printWidth": 600,
"singleQuote": true,
"trailingComma": "all",
"bracketSpacing": false,
"useTabs": true,
"bracketSameLine": true,
"apexInsertFinalNewline": false,
"overrides": [
{
"files": "*.{trigger,cls}",
"options": {"parser": "apex"}
},
{
"files": "*.{apex}",
"options": {"parser": "apex-anonymous"}
},
{
"files": "**/lwc/**/*.html",
"options": {"parser": "lwc"}
},
{
"files": "*.{cmp,page,component,evt}",
"options": {
"parser": "html",
"trailingComma": "none"
}
},
{
"files": "**/aura/**/*.js",
"options": {"trailingComma": "none"}
},
{
"files": "**/aura/**/*.{auradoc,design,app}",
"options": {"parser": "angular"}
},
{
"files": "**/*.xml",
"options": {
"parser": "xml",
"useTabs": false,
"tabWidth": 4,
"xmlWhitespaceSensitivity": "preserve",
"embeddedLanguageFormatting": "off",
"xmlSelfClosingSpace": false
}
}
]
}
Note the 1° Line:
! "plugins": ["prettier-plugin-apex", "@prettier/plugin-xml"]
Than should work 😁
Tell me if work
