Error: "Creating the Fantomas Deamon failed" when saving a file or trying to format in VS about fantomas-for-vs HOT 4 OPEN

Hmm. Just realized the path it's showing, and that in my case the sln file is in the src dir and not in the root dir. Running dotnet tool restore from the src dir solved the issue.

Not sure why there's a 6.2 installed in the root dir, and globally, and a 5.0.6 installed in this repo. I'll fix that.

This message was really confusing to me, though:

Attempting to find Fantomas Tool...
Found at: FantomasToolFound

This didn't mean that it was found. It meant that there was a manifest file and that in the manifest file, it found a certain version. However, the tool was never installed in this particular directory on this machine for some reason.

If you feel like it, maybe change the above to "Attempting to find Fantomas Tool as specified in the manifest file"? Or something like that?

Sorry for the mess above, I was looking in the wrong direction lol...

Whoops, my bad.

I think this might be more something to report in https://github.com/fsprojects/fantomas-for-vs.

Ehm, that's where this currently is, no? 😆

I'll have a look around and see if I can make a few changes that make reasoning about these errors easier and/or fix it such that it finds Fantomas if it's a level up or globally available.

There's also the issue with .fantomasignore, which currently only sometimes works (i.e., if it is in a parent directly, like how .gitignore works, it won't be applied). I might look at that too.

Abel, I can't repro this. I'll reach out to you on Slack.
