Migrating to using robocode.format instead of robotidy

[hans-min]

Hello all,

We are trying to migrate from robotidy 4.18.0 to robocop > 6.0, and uninstall the old robotframework-tidy package.
In my VSCode Settings I set "editor.formatOnSave": true, so that everytime I save a .robot file, everything is correctly formatted without having to run robocop format manually.
However, when I save a .robot file, it is not formatted at all (trailing whitespace is still there for example), and this warning from Robotcode pop ups:

I have no idea how to change this settings in Robotcode extension of VSCode so that robotcode to use robocop format instead. Could you help me pls ?

My library version:

robotframework-robocop             6.7.2
robotcode[all]                     1.9.0
robotframework                     6.1.1

normally this should be happens automatically, if RobotCode detects a robocop Version > 6 the it uses robocop for formatting, even when robotidy is installed.

Did you restart vscode after removing robotidy?

[hans-min]

yes, I did restart VSCode after removing robotidy

[d-biehl]

did you install robocop in the correct/same environment?

[hans-min]

yes, it is all in the same .venv folder, this is also from pip list:

robotframework-robocop             6.7.2
robotcode[all]                     1.9.0
robotframework                     6.1.1
...

Of course I also have the robotcode VSCode extension installed

Can you open a robot file, then in the statusbar of vscode at the bottom, hover with the mouse over the curly brace left to the Robot Framework Language Mode item. you should see something like this:

Ist robocop listed there or robotidy?

does this also happens when you manually format a file?

[d-biehl]

no, with right click on the document and then in the menu select "Format Document"

[hans-min]

[d-biehl]
