Describe the bug

I have a typescriptreact file, and for my formatters i have :
typescriptreact = { "prettier", "eslint_d" },

I also use https://github.com/pmizio/typescript-tools.nvim

My format_on_save function:

      format_on_save = function()
        if vim.g.disable_autoformat then
          return
        end
        return {
          lsp_fallback = true,
          timeout_ms = 500,
        }
      end,

but I also have an autocmd setup because of tstools:

vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd("BufWritePre", {
  group = vim.api.nvim_create_augroup("ts_fix_imports", { clear = true }),
  desc = "Add missing imports and remove unused imports for TS",
  pattern = { "*.ts", "*.tsx", "*.js", "*.jsx" },
  callback = function(args)
    vim.cmd("TSToolsAddMissingImports sync")
    vim.cmd("TSToolsRemoveUnusedImports sync")
    if package.loaded["conform"] then
      require("conform").format({ bufnr = args.buf })
    end
  end,
})

this autocmd is setup because on save I want TSTools to add missing imports, remove unused imports, then call conforms format

The funny thing is, the eslint_d seems to format on save, but then says it times out after

What is the severity of this bug?

breaking (some functionality is broken)

Steps To Reproduce

1. Open any typescript react file and save
2. eslint_d will format but will then notify via timeout error

Expected Behavior

I expect eslint_d to not timeout

Minimal example file

Any typescript react file seems to do this

Minimal init.lua

I had the same issue, adding async=true fixed it, conform.format({lsp_fallback=true, async=true})

[jacobrreed]

Thanks I'll give that a try

[jacobrreed]

I think this fixed it, haven't seen it again since

[Lippiece]

I'm facing the same issue, and I think the solution is not yet found. The problem is that eslint_d takes too much time to format when using conform.nvim. Although, we have workarounds like waiting for 10 seconds each save or using unstable async formatting.

[jacobrreed]

Same issue still, async workaround is buggy at best

[stevearc]

In what way is async formatting buggy?

[jacobrreed]

In what way is async formatting buggy?

random timeouts mostly

[stevearc]

Timeouts? Async formatting doesn't have timeouts. Unless you're talking about eslint_d itself timing out?

[jacobrreed]

ya sorry, like the above comment from @Lippiece eslint_d timeouts, so is this whole issue eslint_d related and not related to conform?

[stevearc]

That's what it sounds like. If running the command directly on the command line doesn't time out, then maybe there's something we can do.

Ok ill try to do some more isolated testing this weekend when i get time
