After installing VScode 1.104 this plugin stopped working

[iamrane]

Environment

• Prettier version: 3.5.1
• Node version: [18, 20] (tested with both)
• IDE: VS Code

Bug

After updating VS Code to version 1.104, this plugin stopped working and started throwing the following error:

Error [ERR_INTERNAL_ASSERTION]: Unexpected module status 0. Cannot require() ES Module /XXXX/node_modules/prettier/plugins/babel.mjs because it is not yet fully loaded. This may be caused by a race condition if the module is simultaneously dynamically import()-ed via Promise.all(). Try await-ing the import() sequentially in a loop instead. (from /XXXX/node_modules/@trivago/prettier-plugin-sort-imports/lib/src/index.js)

I reproduced this on two other machines: it worked fine before the update, but after updating, the same error appears.

Steps to Reproduce

• Update to version 1.104 of VS Code.
• Check the OUTPUT panel filtered on Prettier.
• Observe the above error.
• Comment out trivago/prettier-plugin-sort-imports in the Prettier config.
• Reload VS Code.
• Check the OUTPUT panel filtered on Prettier.
• Notice that the error no longer occurs.

Expected Behavior

Prettier and the plugin should continue to work normally without errors.

Notes

This may be a VS Code issue, but it seems like the plugin could potentially handle this more gracefully as well.

Same problem on other IDE.

Environment

• Prettier version: 3.5.1
• Node version: 22
• IDE: Webstorm

Bug

After up to node 22

i have this error

Unexpected module status 0. Cannot require() ES Module XXX\node_modules\prettier\plugins\babel.mjs because it is not yet fully loaded. This may be caused by a race condition if the module is simultaneously dynamically import()-ed via Promise.all(). Try await-ing the import() sequentially in a loop instead. (from XXX\node_modules\@trivago\prettier-plugin-sort-imports\lib\src\index.js)

Notes

I d'ont have the problem with the 6.0.0-0 version, but this seems to be an unstable version?

Hey @bcourteaud! 6th version is supposed to be stable. Some moments might come up though🙂

I just upgraded Cursor to 2.0.60 and I'm getting this now.

Tried upgrading to 6.0.0 but it didn't fix it.

Seems to work if @trivago/prettier-plugin-sort-imports is the only plugin but if I try to use both @trivago/prettier-plugin-sort-imports and prettier-plugin-tailwindcss I get the following error:

.prettierrc

  ],

}

Error:

This is caused by either a bug in Node.js or incorrect usage of Node.js internals.
