[error] Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'async') #17139
Description
Environments:
- Prettier Version: 3.5.1
- Running Prettier via: CLI
- Runtime: Node.js 22
- Operating System: Debian Linux (WSL2)
- Prettier plugins (if any):
prettier-plugin-jsdoc,@trivago/prettier-plugin-sort-imports
Steps to reproduce:
I have been unable to create a minimal reproduction. Is there any way to get a more meaningful error message?
Expected behavior:
No error.
Actual behavior:
> prettier --write --cache .
[error] Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'async')
ELIFECYCLE Command failed with exit code 1.
As described here, pnpm format (prettier --write .) creates the above error.
pnpm exec prettier --write . will work, and, like @adamalston described, running pnpm format right after that will work as well.
But the next call to pnpm format will error again.
NeoVIM reports the following on formatting an empty TypeScript module:
Failed to run formatter prettier.
