Can't make it use treefmt

[wmertens]

Working on dream2nix, have direnv installed and working in the shell and in other vscode projects; it uses treefmt for formatting.

I set the workspace nix.formatter to treefmt and it keeps using my previous one until I reload the window. I assume

vscode-nix-ide/src/formatter.ts

Line 12 in 8e89986

const FORMATTER = config.formatterPath;

needs to be resolved at format time instead of at module load time.

But after reloading the window, it doesn't format at all. Passing treefmt or the full path (+reload) doesn't make a difference, vscode now says there's no formatter for nix files installed.

I can't get it to use my preferred formatter, either. I wonder if "Enable Language Server" overwrites the setting.

Please check with the latest release.

Hmm - I used the configuration from the readme for treefmt in my workspace configuration but when I save it still uses my user setting nixpkgs-fmt. Not sure how to debug this.

Seems I was correct, if you enable the language server the formatter is ignored, and nixpkgs-fmt is used since that's hardcoded by rnix-lsp and can't be changed yet.
