nx format:write triggers eslint vs prettier battle

[sschneider-ihre-pvs]

Current Behavior

When nx format:write is triggered, nx.json and typescript.base.json get reformatted. Mainly it seems to be an issue on who decides how arrays are formatted.

Expected Behavior

nx.json and typescript.base.json should not get reformatted.

Steps to Reproduce

create a nx workspace with eslint and prettier run nx format:write

nx format uses prettier under the hood. Does running prettier manually do the same thing? If so, the behavior isn't something that we determine.

In my case, the same two files mentioned here are output by the CLI, but it doesn't actually change them:

% nx format:check
% npx prettier . --check         
Checking formatting...
All matched files use Prettier code style!
% nx format:write
nx.json
tsconfig.base.json
% npx prettier . --check         
Checking formatting...
All matched files use Prettier code style!
% git status
On branch main
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/main'.
