Extension 'Deno' .... cannot format 'JavaScript' files

[piscisaureus]

Happened while working on Deploy; deno had not been enabled in the vscode workspace.
However I don't think we should refuse to format files when asked.

version info

• deno v1.20.6
• vscode 1.66.2
• vscode-deno v3.12.0

It might be because it can't do "modifications" type formatting, from your VSCode settings. Try adding "editor.formatOnSaveMode": "file" in your workspace's settings.json

The format function is independent from a workspace being disable or enabled for Deno. This is effectively expected and the formatting can be configured independently. For example, I have Deno as my default formatter, irrespective of the project being enabled, replacing prettier.

I am still a bit confused on how to pick the right formatter only for the Deno subpath, eg I have a mono repo with a Deno "/api" and a classival Vite "/webapp":

{
    "deno.enable": true,
    "deno.unstable": true,
    "deno.codeLens.implementations": true,
    "deno.codeLens.referencesAllFunctions": true,
    "deno.importMap": "./api/import_map.json"
}

How can I use "deno" as the default formatter for the "./api" folder (if it's even possible)?

Also I hit a "Deno cannot format TypeScript files error" when trying to format with Vim "==" (I remember something about it, like it call formatting at line level and not file thus needing another config or smth like that)

Seems exactly the same as #840
