Hi

I am facing issues with the plugin running on the wsl system for Windows (Ubuntu 20.04 LTS).

When typing the option to disable formatting on save I get this:

Running the command CTRL-E > fmt does nothing even when saving the file and reopening it

I am running the latest version of Micro:

Any ideas?

Cheers

I'm sorry that this is not a more useful issue, but I just can't get this plugin to work at all. I installed it using the command on the micro plugins page:

$ micro -plugin install autofmt

Which yielded this result:

Downloading "autofmt" (1.0.0) from "https://github.com/micro-editor/plugin-channel/releases/download/plugins/micro-autofmt-1.0.0.zip"
One or more plugins installed.

So it seems like installation was successful. However, in a JS project with Prettier installed, I modified a JS file and saved the changes — and nothing happened. I pressed Ctrl+E, typed fmt, and pressed Enter — and still nothing happened.

So I cloned this repo, entered it, and ran make, which yielded this result:

mkdir -p ~/.config/micro/plug/micro-autofmt/help
cp autofmt.lua ~/.config/micro/plug/micro-autofmt/autofmt.lua
cp repo.json ~/.config/micro/plug/micro-autofmt/repo.json
cp help/autofmt.md ~/.config/micro/plug/micro-autofmt/help/autofmt.md

There were no errors, so I assume it was successful. I again tried editing the JS file and saving the changes, but still no formatting seemed to be applied. I also pressed Ctrl+E, typed fmt, and pressed Enter again; but still nothing happened.

I use Prettier in VSCode all the time, and I assumed (perhaps incorrectly) that this plugin would behave pretty much the same way. Is that true? Am I doing something obviously wrong? I'd appreciate any help you can provide! 🙏

To my best knowledge, yapf isn't as popular of a formatter as black for python. Ruff is another implementation of black that's getting some traction right now. Would you be open to replacing yapf with one or both of these?

The way it's written now, it doesn't seem like multiple formatters are supported per language, so given a choice let's go with black since it's more popular right now.
