Error: Cannot find module 'svelte/compiler' (v 4.2.0)

[pyoner]

After update the plugin I got an error "Error: Cannot find module 'svelte/compiler'"
I installed the plugin as a global and as a local lib
Svelte installed only as a local lib

prettier src/Form.svelte

But it works when svelte installed as a global lib

[jamesbirtles]

As svelte is now a peer dependency you will need svelte installed manually. Looks like maybe prettier picks up the globally installed version of prettier-plugin-svelte which stops us from being able to pick up the locally installed svelte version.

Will probably be able to add something that detects if there is a locally installed version of prettier-plugin-svelte and use that instead

I run into that issue as well, related to a monorepo.

I have prettier installed in the repository root, but the Svelte code is in services/website. When I run Prettier from the root, e.g. as a pre-commit hook, it fails due to Cannot find module 'svelte/compiler'

Same error in a sapper-template repository.

Run with Gitpod: https://gitpod.io/#https://github.com/crstnio/sapper/pull/1

In console, type: npx prettier --write --plugin-search-dir=. .
... or without --plugin-search-dir. Same result.

Edit: I don't know what has changed, but after adding some scripts to the PR and noticed that Svelte files were rewritten during prettier:watch, I tried again with npx prettier --write . and it works fine now ... See last commit.

I was having the exact same problem, the solution for me was installing svelte as a dependency instead of a peerDependency, after that, prettier cli was working flawlessly

Any updates or a workaround on this issue? I'm also encountring the same problem in a monorepo I'm trying to setup.

@Paultje52 updating the svelte extension in vs code worked for me

I'm facing the same issue. I have tried putting svelte as dependency as well as a peerDependency. Neither fixes this issue. Any help would be appreciated!

Running into this in 2024 still.
