Getting an error 'No files matching the pattern were found' when using prettier

Question

I found this answer how to format code using prettier

Here is what I've done

npm i prettier -g
prettier --write \"./**/*.{js,html}\"

Got an error [error] No files matching the pattern were found: ""./**/*.{js,html}"". any ideas how to fix? do you think it is because I installed the prettier globally (in the answer it is installed locally)?

So how would you use pettier when it is installed globally then?

Answer 1

One solution to this problem was suggested here : and actually worked for me. Notice I am on Windows machine, so am not sure how it will behave on others. Just remove anything before and after the expression (quotes):

prettier --write ./**/*.{js,html}

Answer 2

Probably the quotes are wrong. It should probably be:

prettier --write "./**/*.{js,html}"

without the backslashes.
