I am having the same issue. This has started recently. I tried reverting to the previous version, but to no avail. Also of interest, I have other VSCode workspaces in which Prettier is working fine.

I am also having this issues in one of my workspaces

[bryanjnelson]

For me the root cause of this was related to this issue found over in Microsoft's vscode-eslint repo. There's a lot at play there, so I'll let the issue speak for itself.

On my side the issue seems to be solved on its own Surely an update did it, but is unknown to me if it was from vscode or prettier

[RobinClowers]

I'm also running into this. I tried disabling the eslint plugin and still had the issue, so I don't think it's related to the issue @bryanjnelson linked. I'm using yarn 4, but I'm not using pnp, which appears to be a key factor in that issue.

Prettier Extension Version: 11.0.0 Prettier package version: 3.3.3

[jasonm]

Aha, finally fixed this for myself. I was seeing this issue with the same output as @yuemin-hu-20231024 reported in the description.

For me, the issue was that the VS Code extension setting Prettier: Prettier Path pointed to an executable prettier binary -- the value was ./node_modules/.bin/prettier. Instead, it should be be the path to a directory of a prettier installation, e.g. ./node_modules/prettier. The README corroborates this at https://github.com/prettier/prettier-vscode?tab=readme-ov-file#prettierprettierpath

I'm not sure how that incorrect value was set. FWIW I was using Cursor, a VSCode fork.

I know I might get couple thumbs down for this comment, but here I go.

I am currently using these versions

I followed @jasonm 's instruction (big shoutout!) and I got another following Error.

["ERROR" - 2:57:53 PM] Invalid version
Error: Invalid version

	at t.default.handleActiveTextEditorChanged (~/extensions/esbenp.prettier-vscode-11.0.0/dist/extension.js:1:11123)

Apparently by changing my prettier config file from .prettierrc.js to .prettierrc fixed all the issues. I don't know why but hope this unfaithful strategy might fix y'all issue 😅
