I had the same error, then I found this issue on GitHub with the following code, and it worked:

"[prisma]": {
    "editor.defaultFormatter": "Prisma.prisma"
},

  1. Install prisma Insider in VS Code
  2. Add these lines in Settings.josn
  "[prisma]": {
    "editor.defaultFormatter": "Prisma.prisma-insider"
  },
  "editor.formatOnSave": true

Now formatting will work.

Hey @NickSchmitt, thanks for opening this discussion!

Just to confirm, did you follow the exact instructions in the Quickstart guide? Running the following commands should work:

curl -L https://pris.ly/quickstart | tar -xz --strip=2 quickstart-master/typescript/starter
cd starter
npm install

Now replace the empty main function in script.ts with this:

async function main() {
  const allUsers = await prisma.user.findMany()
  console.log(allUsers)
}

And finally run:

npm run dev

This should print the following:

[
  { id: 1, email: "sarah@prisma.io", name: "Sarah" },
  { id: 2, email: "maria@prisma.io", name: "Maria" },
]

If you follow these steps and don't the above output, something indeed seems fishy 🤔 I am not able to reproduce an error when I follow these steps, so I'd be curious to hear if that also solves the problem for you! If not, I'm happy to dig a bit deeper with you! Maybe you can zip your project and share it with me so I can check what the problem might be?
