Formatter not working

[merisbahti]

Summary

Nothing happens when I run the formatter.

Reproduction Steps

I tried this:

1. configured languages.toml like this:

[[language]]
name = "typescript"
formatter = { command = "eslint_d", args = [
  "--stdin",
  "--fix-to-stdout",
  "--stdin-filename",
  "packages/checkout-sdk/src/actionMethods.ts",
] }
auto-format = true

2. I ran :format in my file

I expected this to happen:
it should be formatted

Instead, this happened:
Nothing, no error.

The log even says:

2025-02-27T09:32:15.224 helix_view::document [DEBUG] formatting 'packages/checkout-sdk/src/actions.ts' with command '/Users/meris/.local/share/mise/installs/node/20.11.1/bin/eslint_d', args ["--stdin", "--fix-to-stdout", "--stdin-filename", "packages/checkout-sdk/src/actionMethods.ts"]

BUT!! If I select the whole file (%) and then pipe it (|) through the command: /Users/meris/.local/share/mise/installs/node/20.11.1/bin/eslint_d --stdin --fix-to-stdout --stdin-filename packages/checkout-sdk/src/actionMethods.ts, the file gets correctly formatted.

any idea what this might be?

anything I can do to help? I've tried changing the source code to log the before text (text) and the outputted text (str) and they're identical
