Setting up qmlformat

[Rhinemann]

I'm having trouble setting up qmlformat for QML files. My current setup looks as such:

[[language]]
name = "qml"
formatter = { command = "/usr/lib/qt6/bin/qmlformat", args = [
  "--normalize",
  "--single-line-empty-objects",
  "%{buffer_name}",
] }
auto-format = true

Because qmlformat requites a filename as an arguments instead of text passed into stdin, however I am receiving this error instead:

Formatter error: Error: Could not find file "src/Main.qml".

Does anybody have any idea why might that be or any experience with setting QML formatting up in Helix?

Helix runs the formatter in the folder of the file, so %{buffer_name} becomes src/src/Main.qml.
Use "%{file_path_absolute}".

Thanks, I was thinking it could be something to do with the filepath, but didn't find "%{file_path_absolute}" in the docs, thanks!

Oddly enough that gives me a new error:

'format': A formatter isn't available, and no language server provides formatting capabilities

While helix --health qml looks good enough.

Configured language servers:
  ✓ qmlls: /usr/bin/qmlls6
Configured debug adapter: None
Configured formatter:
  ✓ /usr/lib/qt6/bin/qmlformat
Tree-sitter parser: ✓
Highlight queries: ✓
Textobject queries: ✓
Indent queries: ✓

Try "%sh{realpath %{buffer_name}}".

Amazing! Worked, thanks.
