    I have just installed CodeMix to help with CSS/HTML development.

    However it appears there is no CSS formatter?

    If I do Ctrl+Shift+F, I get the message “There is no document formatter for ‘css’-files installed”.

    I have installed the Beautify extension and still no joy.

    This is with Eclipse 2018-09 (4.9.0) and CodeMix CI 2019.2.14

    Am I missing something?

    David,

    That’s odd, Beautify does work for CSS files. If you go to Help > CodeMix Extensions, at the top of the “Installed Extensions” list, do you see a refresh icon? That would indicate that a refresh is needed after installing the extension (typically automatic). Another thing to try is to simply restart the IDE.

    Anything odd about your CSS files, do they have a .css extension or are they .scss, .less, etc.?

    If neither of these work, can you please send us your workspace error log? You can find it at [workspace_location]/.metadata/.log

    Aha!

    In the extensions list, Beautify was unticked. I have now ticked it, clicked the refresh icon and it is now working correctly. Thank you for your help.

    I hadn’t realised there was an extra step to enable the Beautify extension after installing it. Is there a reason why this wasunticked by default, even though I installed it through the Extension Manager?

    David,

    It shouldn’t have been disabled, and no extra step should have been required once you installed the extension.

    While investigating your issue, we found some bugs that would cause the behavior you see, and we’re going to fix this in an upcoming release. Thank you for the report!

    Hi,

    i have got the same issue, and Beatify was also unticked.
    phpfmt formatter was also unticked by default. I am using Eclipse 2018-12 (4.10.0) and newest CodeMix Version.

    Maybe you should have a look at this 🙂

    Thanks,
    Raphi

    I have had to install Eclipse on another computer. I have installed CodeMix but this time a newer version (2019.4.11) and I have the same problem again – no CSS formatter. However there doesn’t appear to be a Beautify extension available at all now? I have installed the Web Dev Pack extension but I still get “There is no document formatter for ‘css’-files installed”. If I click on “Install Formatter…” button then nothing happens.

    Please advise

    David,

    We’re taking a look at why it has disappeared from the installable extension list.

    In the meanwhile, please download the VSIX file from here, and use the Install from VSIX file option to install beautify.

    Apologies for the inconvenience caused.
