Thank you for the report, can you provide a reproduction?

To create a reproduction, you can use our new CLI tool, which should help you to create a very quick repository with what you need: npm create @biomejs/biome-reproduction

Hmm, I'm not able to repro even in my main project today. I wonder if it's because I changed my biome.projects setting.

I encountered a similar issue; however, it only causes some inconvenience when using the Biome extension for the first time.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Install the Biome extension (without the Biome binary/package installed).
2. Ignore the notification to install the Biome binary or package.
   • Note: It’s possible that the notification didn’t appear, or I closed it by accident, but I haven’t been able to reproduce this.
3. Add the following to settings.json: "[jsonc]": { "editor.defaultFormatter": "biomejs.biome" }.
4. Attempt to format settings.json, triggering an alert/popup/dialog that states Biome cannot format JSONC files.

Although this displays as a popup instead of a notification, I believe it's related based on logs provided in this issue, as they suggest that the Biome extension fails to start due to a missing binary.

Instead of stopping, it might be more helpful if a notification could inform users that the binary or package is missing when they attempt to format, rather than just at start-up.

As far as I know this isn't possible because the LSP session needs to have been started for Biome to be registered as a formater.

I just encountered another similar issue.

When I open my settings.json from my command palette, specifically using "Preferences: Open User Settings (JSON)", Biome on the Status Bar says, "The current file is not supported or ignored by Biome".

This also happens with files opened using "Preferences: Open Workspace Settings (JSON)". However, Biome works fine when using "Preferences: Open Workspace Settings (JSON)", "File: Open File...", and most other methods.

I'm on Windows if that helps.
