To Reproduce

This is the file I'm trying to format. Still trying to narrow down what is tripping up the plugin.

Configuration File (cat .prettierrc, prettier.config.js, .prettier.js)

I have tried removing the other plugins, and there is no effect. If I remove just this plugin, prettier is able to format the document.

{
  "plugins": [
    "@ianvs/prettier-plugin-sort-imports",
    "./node_modules/prettier-plugin-jsdoc/dist/index.js",
    "prettier-plugin-css-order"

  "importOrder": [

• I'm willing to fix this bug 🥇

[vincerubinetti]

Hmm, it looks like it 's because of the lack of type before the import { Table }, interesting! It's probably getting confused since Table already exists as a value (as opposed to a type) in the scope. Not sure this is a really a bug, it's definitely my mistake. But perhaps it'd be good to guard against this somehow?

i've been using it no problem for a week till today where i got the same error
["ERROR" - 5:55:13 PM] Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'buildError') TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'buildError')

I also get the error with trivago's package. trivago/prettier-plugin-sort-imports#228

[IanVS]

@a-somani there is probably a syntax error in your file.

@vincerubinetti I'd be happy to review a PR if you'd like to try adding a nicer error message!

[a-somani]

this is my .prettierrc.json

{
  "plugins": ["@ianvs/prettier-plugin-sort-imports"],
  "importOrder": [
    "<BUILTIN_MODULES>",
    "^react($|/)",
    "^react-dom($|/)",
    "^next($|/)",
    "<THIRD_PARTY_MODULES>",
    "",
    "^@(styles|interfaces|services|components|lib|utils|artifacts|contracts|pages|hooks|layout|middleware|schemas|shared|contexts)($|/).*",
    "^[./]"
  ],
  "importOrderSeparation": true,
  "importOrderSortSpecifiers": true
}

i have not changed it since i used it last week when it was working. perhaps there was a vscode update or just the prettier vscode extension?

[IanVS]

This is not a problem in the plugin or prettier, it's a problem somewhere in the file that you are trying to format.

[a-somani]

do you know if theres an easier way to debug prettier in my file? im not sure whats causing Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'buildError')

[IanVS]

Is it a TypeScript file? If so, you can try compiling it with tsc and see if it gives you an error. Or, try deleting one import at a time until the error goes away, and then you'll know which one it was.

[a-somani]

I fixed it! I had named my react component the same as one of my imports. i resolved it by commenting out 1 line at a time till my prettier vscode plugin was no longer red. also found help with using yarn prettier **/*.tsx --check

[vincerubinetti]

Closing because it's unfortunately unlikely i'll have the time to be able to dive in and figure out what to change and how.
