When I installed and set VSCode formatter 'black' (after setting linter as flake8), the tutorial video tutor's side shows up pop-up like 'formatter autopep8 is not installed. install?'. & Mine did not show up that message.
I use Black from inside VSCode and it rocks. It frees mental cycles that you would spend deciding how to format your code. It's best to use it from your favorite editor. Just run from the command line if you need to format a lot of files at once.
That said, these kind of problems usually are about using a python interpreter where black isn't installed. I recommend the use of virtual environments, but first check your python interpreter on the status bar:
If you didn't explicitly select an interpreter, do it now clicking on the Python version in your status bar. You can also do it with Ctrl-P + "Python: Select Interpreter". The status bar should change after selecting it.
Failed import? Problem solved. Just install black using the interpreter from the venv: python -m pip install black. You also can install using Conda, but in my experience VSCode works better with pip.
Still not working? Click in the "OUTPUT" tab sibling of the TERMINAL and try to get more info at the "Log" output (if you use the newer Black plugun it may be called "Black Formatter"). Select it in the pull down menu:
I revised my solution for issue #2
a. install black extension first
b. set up your virtual environment, install black init and set your project interpreter to it
c. go to user setting, set Black-formatter: Path to "black" in your virtual environment
Once installed in Visual Studio Code, "Black Formatter" will be available as a formatter for python files. Please select "Black Formatter" (extension id:ms-python.black-formatter) as the default formatter. You can do this either by using the context menu (right click on a open python file in the editor) and select "Format Document With...", or you can add the following to your settings:
In my case I had accidentally uninstalled one of black's dependencies, mypy-extensions. Vscode did not show an error in the UI or the output logs. Try reinstalling black with pip install black --force-reinstall.
It was a challenging issue for me to resolve. I even reinstalled my VSCode and Black-Formatter several times.Finally I found the issue using the following method. In the VSCode click on OUTOUT and from the dropdown menu select Black-Formatter. There in the logs you will see the issue (as in screenshot below). Here for me it was that I had the following items in my .gitignore file. Disabling the last two items solved the issue for me (still doesn't make sense that it broke the black formatter)
Thanks to @wisbucky's answer... After trying what he advised, I could see that the that Bit Defender AV was blocking the black.exe in Sandbox. After a few minutes the AV analysis finished and the black.exe file was allowed to run... then, I could see that there was a syntax error that VS Code didn't warn about, and that was preventing Black from working.
Check if the formatter is configured correctly by calling the 'Format Document' action (ctrl+shift+p). This prompted me with a message to choose the formatter. After that everything worked as expected.
The best way to use black is through terminal in my opinion. All you need to do is install it on pip on terminal using: pip install blackThen when it's installed you go onto terminal and type: black filename.py
the full line would be: black filepath/file.pySo for a file called test.py located on desktop if on mac: black desktop/test.pyIf you want to do it on multiple files than do it individually to each file.
So I made this linux live usb and I'm having trooble returning it to being a regular storage drive.I'm using windows 7, by using compmgmt.msc I can see the drive but I can't format it.usually when right clicking you can format but here I can only click on "help", chich does not help by the way.
After having tooled around with a USB Linux version using your image overwritten or multi partitioned flash pen drive, you might find it necessary to revert it back to a single fat partition (restore the flash pen drive to it's original state) that can again be read by all computers.
You can use the utilities that come with Windows to do this without downloading anything else. DISKPART from the command line as Administrative user will do what you need.
Once inside of the diskpart utility type in list disk, select the USB disk by typing select disk (x) and then clean, this should now wipe the USB stick, you can now create a new partition and format the UBS stick. To create a new partition table on the USB type in create partition primary, then select partition 1, then format fs=fat32 quick. Your USB stick should now be ready to use.
In Windows: Go to Disk Management. Find your disk. It should be a blue and black partition (just like your image). On the BLUE partition, right-click and delete partition. After that, the deleted partition will merge with the black partition and it will be UNPARTITIONED. You should be able to format the unpartitioned space to whatever system you like.
Hi there,
me and my friend are working on the same project and we use the mix format command to format our code. The problem is that he is working on Linux and im working on Windows and so the formatting differs. Windows uses another LineEnding than Linux.
Our pipeline uses Linux so when it checks for the formatting it only fails when I commit with my windows formatted code.
We both use VSCode.
But the problem persists. Now the mix format --check-formatted command fails because of empty lines added by my mix format command. It is only complaining about empty lines in multiline comments using the """ notation.
Formatting makes source code easier to read by human beings. By enforcing particular rules and conventions such as line spacing, indents, and spacing around operators, the code becomes more visually organized and comprehensible. You can view an example on the autopep8 page. Keep in mind, formatting doesn't affect the functionality of the code itself.
Linting helps to prevent errors by analyzing code for common syntactical, stylistic, and functional errors and unconventional programming practices. Although there is a little overlap between formatting and linting, the two capabilities are complementary.
Note: If you don't find your preferred formatter in the table above or in the Marketplace, you can add support for it via an extension. You can use the Python Extension Template to integrate new Python tools into VS Code.
Alternatively, you can set it as the default formatter for all Python files by setting "editor.defaultFormatter" in your User settings.json file, under a [python] scope. You can open settings.json with the Preferences: Open User Settings (JSON) command.
In order to set a formatter extension as an import sorter, you can set your preference under "editor.codeActionsOnSave" in your User settings.json file or your Workspace settings.json file, under a [python] scope. You can open these settings.json files using the Preferences: Open User Settings (JSON) and Preferences: Open Workspace Settings (JSON) commands respectively. This will enable import sorting on save for all Python files.
Note: If you don't find your preferred formatter listed above, you can add support via an extension. The Python Extension Template makes it easy to integrate new Python tools into VS Code.
Integrated formatting: Once this extension is installed in VS Code, Black will be automatically available as a formatter for Python. This is because the extension ships with a Black binary. You can ensure VS Code uses Black by default for all your Python files by setting the following in your User settings (View > Command Palette... and run Preferences: Open User Settings (JSON)):
Format on save: Automatically format your Python files on save by setting the editor.formatOnSave setting to true and the editor.defaultFormatter setting to ms-python.black-formatter. You can also enable format on save for Python files only by adding the following to your settings:
If the black-formatter.importStrategy setting is set to fromEnvironment but Black is not found in the selected environment, this extension will fallback to using the Black binary that is shipped with the extension. However, if there are dependencies installed in the environment, those dependencies will be used along with the shipped Black binary. This can lead to problems if the dependencies are not compatible with the shipped Black binary.
Nothing in the event log. Now the drive has a new volume label courtesy of Windows Backup and is invisible from Windows Explorer. It tried reformatting manually it from Server Manager with default settings for NTFS, not sure what happened, no response in the gui, but event manager showed:
Steve you have confirmed my fears. Just this week we obtained 3 Seagate 2Tb Expansion Desktop Hard Drives to use with windows backup server 2008 R2. No Go. These drives are a new model with 4K native sector support. This new format is only fully supported by Windows 8 and Server 2012. It is a particular problem with Windows Server image sector backup. You are absolutley right, there is no mention of this in the product spec or on Seagate web site. The event log reads - System Protection was unable to back up to a disk with 4Kb sectors. Note that the WD My Books also have a version which supports Advanced Format or 512E. These are more compatible, but still need to have special formatter for use on server image backup, which is avail on the WD web site.
Which SQL formatter would you recommend? In our organization, we have coding standards. My problem is, there are to many of them. As I am responsible for the repositories containing SQL, I want to enforce a single standard by automatically formatting the code in check-in. I would like to have some configuration options to tweak the format to my liking.
