🐛 Biome not properly formatting workspace files

VS Code version

1.93.1

Extension version

2.3.0

Biome version

1.9.3

Operating system

• Windows

Description

Our team has been struggling with Biome inconsistently formatting workspace files. On save, sometimes it uses the default biome settings, and sometimes it uses our biome.json settings. In addition, when pressing Ctrl + Shift + P, we are able to see a bunch of Biome formatters, which did not seem to be the case in previous versions.

Occasionally, restarting VSCode or closing out of the current file and reopening seems to fix it, but not consistently as well.

Steps to reproduce

1. Attempt to format a file (potentially in a large monorepo which has biome.json's that depend on each other, but may be unrelated)
2. See that the formatting is inconsistent.

Expected behavior

The formatting was consistent in Biome 1.7.0, but after we updated to 1.9.3, the formatting has not been consistent at all.

Does this issue occur when using the CLI directly?

Would you mind trying the pre-release of the extension to see if it solves it for you? The current version has a couple of issues with regards to sockets that sometimes results in multiple session being created.

I'm experiencing the same issues in large workspaces (both on release and pre-release versions):

• The folder configuration is sometimes not picked up at all from the start, and a default config is used.
• The extension sometimes initially picks up on the correct folder configuration, but then seems to forget it later on and uses a default configuration.
• It also sometimes lists multiple formatters in the command palette.
• Sometimes files are ignored entirely with The file [file path] was ignored..
• The same monorepos work fine in Webstorm with biome, as well as via the cli.

Overall, this makes the vscode extension very difficult to use in monorepos as the output becomes unpredictable.

Edit: they all seem to be related to projects in a workspace without Biome crashing the extension. It's sort of expected on a single project, but quite on a possibly multi-language workspace.

I had similar problems with workspaces but was showered with errors when switched to pre release:

This is happening to me in a large workspace as well. biome format runs fine but vscode extension fails to format files saying: [Warn - 5:04:49 PM] The file <file> was ignored.. As soon as I remove "extends": ["@arthurfiorette/biomejs-config"] it works back again.

Tried letting an empty json file at @arthurfiorette/biomejs-config but with no success, only when I remove the extends config that it gets back to formatting.

Tried using release and pre-release version.

How is this closed??? This is still a pending issue that does not allow me to format files using my IDE.

I could experience the same issue (with multiple biome instances running) when switching from one branch to another. I have a monorepo, with a single biome.json config file. Switching to pre-release fixed the problem for me. After switching the version, remember to reload your VS window (cmd+shift+p -> Developer: Reload Window)
