Describe your issue
- Prettier version: 3.5.1
- node version: 22.20.0
- package manager: npm@10.9.2
- IDE: Cursor 2.0.60
When loading Cursor, the ESLint Output window is showing ESLint crashing with the error:
2025-11-05 10:15:43.560 [error] An unexpected error occurred:
2025-11-05 10:15:43.560 [error] Error [ERR_INTERNAL_ASSERTION]: Unexpected module status 0. Cannot require() ES Module /node_modules/prettier/plugins/babel.mjs because it is not yet fully loaded. This may be caused by a race condition if the module is simultaneously dynamically import()-ed via Promise.all(). Try await-ing the import() sequentially in a loop instead. (from /node_modules/@trivago/prettier-plugin-sort-imports/lib/src/index.js)
This is caused by either a bug in Node.js or incorrect usage of Node.js internals.
