Format with yapf is silently erroring - visual-studio-code

Question

Using the Python extension, with yapf - nothing happens when I hit format:
VSCode Version: 1.0.0
OS Version: OSX 10.11.4
My workspace settings:
// Place your settings in this file to overwrite the default settings
{
"search.exclude": {
"**/node_modules": true,
"**/bower_components": true,
"**/js-build": true
},
"editor.scrollBeyondLastLine": false,
"python.pythonPath": "/Users/joshma/.envs/venv/bin/python",
"python.linting.flake8Path": "/Users/joshma/.envs/venv/bin/flake8",
"python.linting.pylintEnabled": false,
"python.linting.flake8Enabled": true,
"editor.formatOnType": true,
"python.formatting.provider": "yapf",
"python.formatting.yapfPath": "/Users/joshma/.envs/venv/bin/yapf"
}
The steps I took:
Rewrite a function call to foo('a' )
Verify that running cat path/to/file.py | yapf formats that line to be foo('a')
Select entire file, cmd + shift + p, Format Code.
Nothing happens :(
It's possible I don't have some path/configuration set up correctly - is there some way to debug this?

Answer 1

I think you are missing this option,
python.formatting.formatOnSave
This is my configuration and the formatting is working,
"python.formatting.formatOnSave": true,
"python.formatting.provider": "yapf",
"python.formatting.yapfPath": "/usr/bin/yapf"

Answer 2

Try only to Format On Save option:
Press Cmd + ,
Search for Format On Save option and chack it on.
Or add the following in settings.json:
{
"python.formatting.provider": "yapf",
"editor.formatOnSave": true,
}
