Currently, lint|fmt IDE support for Vite+ is implemented as follows:

• When the vite-plus package is installed locally, the package manager places bin/oxlint|fmt
  • These are special binaries with vite.config.ts support enabled, distinct from the standard oxlint|fmt binaries
• Individual editor extensions then reference these binaries and launch --lsp
  • The discovery process for these binaries should remain the same as in non-Vite+ projects

However, some issues have also come to light.

• When using npm or yarn as the package manager, the custom binary is not installed at all!
  • vite-plus bins conflict with oxfmt and oxlint bins #1482
  • pnpm and bun works
• Installing oxlint|fmt separately overwrites the custom binary
  • IMO: This should be triaged as a separate issue, since this overrides vp lint|fmt too
• When you try to setup editor by yourself, it's unclear to know what should be used
  • lint,fmt: Non LSP aware editor support #979
• The priority of the method VSCode extension uses to search the bin/ was lower than that of require.resolve(), causing it to fail to locate the custom binary when other workspaces were open
  • Fixed by: fix(vite-plus): search for node_modules/.bin before resolving to native package oxc-project/oxc-vscode#223

Proposed solution

Following our team meeting, we would like to proceed as follows.

• Deprecate the wrapper binary
• Editors that support LSP should use vp lint|fmt --lsp instead
• Editors that do not use LSP should use commands like vp fmt --stdin-filepath

Tasks

• Stop writing VITE+... header message to stdout for these usecases @fengmk2
  • vp lint --lsp
  • vp fmt --lsp, vp fmt --stdin-filepath
• Define a standardized way to determine "whether a project is a Vite+ project or not" @fengmk2
• Update editor extensions to detect Vite+ project and use vp lint|fmt --lsp
