Extension does not seem to use the local pyproject.toml

Diagnostic Data

• Python version (& distribution if applicable, e.g., Anaconda): 3.10.14
• Type of virtual environment used (e.g., conda, venv, virtualenv, etc.): poetry
• Operating system (and version): MacOS Monterey
• Version of tool extension you are using: v2024.2.0

Behaviour

When I save my .py files, the extension converts single-quote strings to double-quote strings, even though I have the following in my pyproject.toml

[tool.black]
target-version = ["py310"]
exclude = "migrations"
skip-string-normalization = true

I tried to call black directly from the command-line and it does do this, so it works as expected.

But now suddenly it stopped ignoring the single-quotes and it doesn't format them anymore. If I change my settings in pyproject.toml to

[tool.black]
target-version = ["py310"]
exclude = "migrations"
# skip-string-normalization = true

Now, it doesn't format the single-quotes to double-quotes.

Maybe this is a cache problem?

Outcome When Attempting Debugging Steps:

Did running it from the command line work? No

If I run /Users/me/Library/Caches/pypoetry/virtualenvs/myproject-GRsX74iM-py3.10/bin/python -m black --stdin-filename /mydir/file.py from the terminal, I get the error

Usage: python -m black [OPTIONS] SRC ...

One of 'SRC' or 'code' is required.

So, I tried /Users/me/Library/Caches/pypoetry/virtualenvs/myproject-GRsX74iM-py3.10/bin/python -m black --stdin-filename SRC /mydir/file.py and it works now.

I have the same problem. I have Black settings in my pyproject.toml to configure line length. When I run black from cli directly it works fine but not on editor save with the extension. This happens on either import strategy useBundled or fromEnvironment. Here are my workspace settings:

{
    "cwd": "/workspaces/core-service",
    "workspace": "file:///workspaces/core-service",
    "args": [],
    "path": [],
    "interpreter": [
        "/home/vscode/.cache/pypoetry/virtualenvs/core-service-Td9uKyt_-py3.12/bin/python"
    ],
    "importStrategy": "fromEnvironment",
    "showNotifications": "off"
}

My pyproject.toml file lives at /workspaces/core-service/pyproject.toml

Can you try running it using this command line? The extension jsut run black but uses stdin to send code. The exact command line equivalent is this:

cat /mydir/file.py | python -m black --stdin-filename /mydir/file.py -

Additionally, you can use "black-formatter.args" : ["--config", "${workspaceFolder}/pyproject.toml"] to explicitly ask black to use pyproject.toml

Thanks for responding! I used the black-formatter args directly to set the line-length configuration and my files were being formatted incorrectly but I found the real issue. I have black as my default formatter for python files in my VSCode settings but VSCode was still using the autopep8 extension to format. Uninstalling this extension fixed the issue and Black is now working correct. Settings are now being respected in pyproject.toml as well.

Sorry for the false positive there.
For anyone else coming along this issue, try uninstalling the autopep8 formatter extension first (it might get added automatically when installing the ms-python.python extension)

@MarcusVirg oof thanks for your post! I've been having the same issue for weeks. Despite having black as my formatter, vscode was still using autopep8. I don't even remember installing autopep8. When opening the command palette and typing > Format document with... I could see that vscode was using autopep8, and it was set as the default (despite what was in my settings).

This has been such a thorn in my side, glad I found a fix.

Would be nice if we could fix the bug which is causing vscode to use autopep8, despite whatever settings one is using.

This worked for me

"[python]": {
    "editor.defaultFormatter": "ms-python.black-formatter"
},
