No formatter for `shell-script` files installed on v7.2.8

[ethanmusser]

Type: Bug

Whenever I try to format a document with v7.2.8 I see the following error pop-up despite having shell-format configured as the default formatter for shell-script files and having shfmt installed on my system.

There is no formatter for "shell-script" files installed.

Reverting to v7.2.5 fixes this issue.

Seems related to #396, #401.

duplicate with #396
downgrade to 7.2.5

Already noted that. Just thought it might be useful to have my system/VSCode information for debugging purposes.

It's the same in vs code also with 7.2.5

Until @foxundermoon fixes the issue, if you're using devcontainers, then you can pin the extension version:

{
	"customizations": {
		"vscode": {
			"extensions": [
				"foxundermoon.shell-format@7.2.5"
			]
		}
	}
}

import { mkdir, copyFile } from "node:fs/promises";
import { join, dirname } from "node:path";
import { fileURLToPath } from "node:url";

const __filename = fileURLToPath(import.meta.url);
const __dirname = dirname(__filename);
const repoRoot = join(__dirname, "..");

const source = join(repoRoot, "node_modules", "@one-ini", "wasm", "one_ini_bg.wasm");
const targetDir = join(repoRoot, "dist");
const target = join(targetDir, "one_ini_bg.wasm");

try {
  await mkdir(targetDir, { recursive: true });
  await copyFile(source, target);
  console.log(`[copy-assets] Copied ${source} → ${target}`);
} catch (error) {
  console.error("[copy-assets] Failed to copy one_ini_bg.wasm:", error);
  process.exitCode = 1;
}

The solution I came up with was to create a script that includes the file in dist.
I encountered the same error while merging the two repositories to have formatter, linter, and language in a single repo, since I don't like having many extensions for the same thing, in addition to updating and modernizing the code.
