Ethereum: Prettier not detecting solidity

Here’s a Draft article based on your description:

Ethereum: Prettier Not Detecting Solidity

As developers, we rely heavy on tools to improve our code quality. One Such Tool is Prettier, A Popular JavaScript Formatter That Can Automatically Format and Style Our Code for Better Readability. However, One of the Extensions Used by Quettier, Solidity, Has Been Causing Issues with Formage in Ethereum Development.

The Problem

In My Experience, I Have Tried Multiple Times to Install and Reinstall Both The Solidity Extension and Prettier Itself. Despite this, the Issue Persists. The Solidity Command from Within My Project Always Outputs A Different Format than the code would look like if it was formatted with prettier.

The issue

I’ve observed that when I run the solidity -format command in my projects Terminal, I get the following output:

`

Pragma Solidity ^0.8.10; // Pragma: // comment

contract my contract {

Uint256 Public Counter;

}

`

However, Running It With Prettier Installed and Configured Correctly Yields A Different Output:

`

Pragma Solidity ^0.8.11;

contract my contract {

Uint256 Public Counter;

}

`

The Solution

After Tryping Various Solutions, I’ve come up with the following workarounds to resolve this issue:

• Uninstall and Reinstall Solidity Extension

  : I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Solidity Extension Multiple Times. This Solution Seems to Work in Some Cases, But It’s Not Reliable.

• Reinstall Prettier with Custom Configuration : I’ve Attempted to Reinstall Prettier with Custom Configuration for Both JavaScript and Solidity Files. However, this also does not seem to provide a permanent fix.

• Configure Prettier As an Option : One Solution is to configure prettier as an option when running the solidity command. This can be done by adding the following code to your .bashrc or.ZSHRC 'file:

export path = “$ path: $ home/. Config/NVM/V0.51.9/BIN: $ Home/.NVM/Lib/$ NVM_Version/BIN”

Source $ Home/.NVM/NVM-SH/Bash

NPM install -Global Prettier

`

And then, when you run the solidity command, use the following configuration:

`Bash

Solidity -Format = .js Solidity.js

Заключение

In Conclusion, While Prettier Seems to Be Working Fine for Typescript Projects, Its Solidity Formage is not Cooperating. After Tryping Various Solutions, I’ve Found That Reinstalling the Solidity Extension and Configuring Prettier As An Option May Provide A Temporary Fix.

However, This Solution has its limitations, and its recommended to explore alternatives or configure prettier in a way that works for your specific use case.

Tips and variations

• If you’re using a different ide or text editor, such as webstorm or vs code, the configuration options may vary. Make sure to check the documentation for your chosen tool.

• You can also try installing the SOLENTITY Extension Separately from Prettier and Configuring It Manually.

• In some cases, you may need to use a different version of solidity or ethereum libraries that are not supported by prettier.

I hope this helps! If you have any further questions or need more assistance, feel free to ask.
