@karthiknadig the tagged issue was filed by you originally - any ideas that could help here?

This really need to be solved upstream. Essentially, one of the tools applies first, VS Code should synchronize the changes to all servers. This does not happen when using an import sorter. So the second tool sees the wrong version of the document.

@samskiter a workaround and a faster tool here is Ruff (ruff extension is available in the market place). It supports isort style import sorting and black style of formatting, and several linters in a single tool.

I'm seeing this with black and isort. Any workarounds available?

@neilferreira see #25538 (comment) for workaround
