Reloading / Restarting Window is the only way to apply config file

[webberwang]

I'm using a .prettierrc.yml config at project root to override my Workspace Settings. But whenever I edit the setting, the only way for VSCode to pick up those new settings is to reload the project.

VSCode: 1.27.2
Prettier: 1.6.1

Is this actually an issue? I mean, how many times do you change your settings on a daily basis?

[webberwang]

Well the rationale is that if Workspace Settings apply without reloading the window manually, you would expect the prettier configs to do the same.

It's 1 extra factor someone setting up the config will have to test for when something doesn't work. Also it may not be a huge factor after you have already determined all your settings, but during the process of testing those rules, it becomes very cumbersome to reload every time.

When we detect a change in a config file we empty prettier's config cache.
Please share your other settings and on what kind of file this fails

I'm seeing this same issue on a fresh install of VSCode (Version 1.30.1) on macOS Mojave (10.14.1). When I edit a setting in .prettierrc, for example printWidth, it doesn't pickup the change until I restart VSCode.

Also, I see the detecting a change code includes all prettier config formats:

const PRETTIER_CONFIG_FILES = [
    '.prettierrc',
    '.prettierrc.json',
    '.prettierrc.yaml',
    '.prettierrc.yml',
    '.prettierrc.js',
    'package.json',
    'prettier.config.js',
];

However, the plugin doesn't seem to actually support all of those file formats. For instance, I can't get prettierrc.js to be recognized at all. I know that's a different issue, but wanted to mention it in this context / thread since the "detecting the change" code seems related and like it's watching for changes that the overall plugin doesn't fully support, which seems odd.

Yes, .prettierrc.js does not seem to be a valid configuration (even though it's watched), whereas .prettierrc.json does, however even with the json config a window reload is required.

I'd like to re-open this issue. .prettierrc does not seem to be watched, the configuration is not reloaded when the file changes.
