Format on save with prettier takes eternity

Bug Report
1

Just as the title suggests, when format on save is enabled I takes a long time to save files. Formatter is Prettier.

As I am writing this post:
Saving ‘geniusCreateCase.ts’: Running ‘Prettier - Code formatter’ Formatter
is running for a good 10 minutes now.

I can’t disable format on save in cursor, when I untick the box it automatically gets checked again.

Have cursor and VScode opened side by side and vsc is unaffected.

I love cursor, but it’s a harsh love right now with a lot of performance issues…

I have the same issue, would love to get this fixed. Cursor is amazing but I have to keep switching back to VSCode because of this.

Came here to report the same. It’s been driving me nuts.

Same here. ES lint is unhappy with the lack of formatting, I need to switch back to VS Code until this is resolved.

+1 on this issue. Format on save is making this IDE virtually unusable, which is tragic because I love it in every other way.

Hey @kamilCodes

I noticed this problem a while ago with VSCode, and it somehow resolved itself over time. It’s not a Cursor issue, it’s a VSCode issue. Here’s what I found after a bit of Googling:

I don’t think so, In the VSCode it doing very well about Prettier and perfectly formatting right now, But the same config it doesn’t work anymore in Cursor.
