"There is no formatter for 'gradle' files installed."

Hi! I'm trying to format a gradle file, but I got this error.

There is no formatter for 'gradle' files installed.

Not reproducible with current version of VsCode & VsCode Groovy Lint

Please reopen if you still see the error :)

This can happen if you installed "Gradle Language Support". Reproducible with

• Gradle Language Support v0.2.3
• Groovy Lint, Format and Fix v1.4.0

I guess it because installing Gradle Language Support make the build.gradle file recoginsed as gradle file (without that, it's detected as groovy file). Groovy Lint probably doesn't explicitly stated gradle file as one of its supported format.

[nvuillam]

Mmmm maybe Gradle Language Support extension "steals" the handle of .gradle files from VsCode Groovy Lint :/

Or VsCode remove Gradle from extensions associated to Groovy :/

Of VsCode simply changed their way to detect a formatter (according to the doc, registerDocumentFormattingEditProvider must be used and it not present on VsCode GroovyLint sources)

I'll try to have a look in my spare time, but if you have tume i'll be happy to validate a PR :)

@NatoBoram @bitevo @abcfy2 @dyno is the issue still happening with latest version ?

Still exists. I've set gradle to use your plugin to format in setting.json:

  "[gradle]": {
    "editor.defaultFormatter": "NicolasVuillamy.vscode-groovy-lint"
  }

But I still got this issue.

But lucky after set file associations *.gradle --> groovy your plugin could work. I hope you plugin could support lint & format *.gradle files, thanks. @nvuillam

VsCode Groovy Lint does not use VsCode formatting APIs (but it should ! )

Maybe u'd like to try a PR ? :)
