VS Code: End of file new line not persisting

Question

I am facing an irritating problem that no new line is being saved for HTML and JavaScript despite explicitly setting that they should be done. Can someone please guide me what I am doing wrong?

Answer 1

That's because of a default setting in 🆚CODE

  // When enabled, insert a final new line at the end of the file when saving it.
  "files.insertFinalNewline": false,

Turn that to true and you'll be able to persist a new line. I'd also recommend that your turn on the trimmer for more than one new lines at the end.

• STEP #1: Press ⌘ + , (CTRL on Windows/Linux) to open settings.

• STEP #2: Add the following two settings.

  "files.insertFinalNewline": true, "files.trimFinalNewlines": true,

Answer 2

The problem was not in the settings but in the extensions. As pointed out in a comment in the question by VictorS., running the editor in code --disable-extensions I validated that without extensions it does work. Then I started uninstalling extensions until it works and finally zero'd down to this plugin and uninstalling it made things work as I was expecting.

Answer 3

It's the wrong setting.

The correct setting is

"files.insertFinalNewline": false,

setting this to true will enable a new line to be added when saving the file. There is an even more explicit setting "html.format.endWithNewline": false, but I've never used that so I am unsure how it works.
