Add option to set organizeImports provider

[Spenhouet]

Currently source.organizeImports activates all extensions that provide this functionality.
This leads to problems like this: #90220

I wish that similar to python.formatting.provider we could also set a python.organizeImports.provider.

This would control which extension is supposed to run the organizeImports action (and which one not).

Extensions can already provide for more scoped code actions kinds, such as source.organizeImports.python to support this

We could consider allowing codeActionsOnSave to specify which extension to use for a given on save action, the way editor.defaultFormatter woks

[Spenhouet]

Sounds good. That would do the job.

@mjbvz
vscode 1.44 introduced code actions order, what is the correct settings if I want to use this new feature ? The given setting example doesn't work, if I don't use your tip on source.organizeImports.python. The new feature even changed the type of the setting, editor.codeActionsOnSave was a dict before, and now it's an array.

"editor.codeActionsOnSave": [
    "source.organizeImports",
    "source.fixAll"
]

I gave the initial import order like:

import sys
import os

after save, vscode changed it to (it deleted import):

import os
import os

@copdips My example was theoretical, I'm not sure it has been implemented by python

@mjbvz your example source.organizeImports.python fixed the issue. And as vscode 1.44 introduced the sorted code actions, I would like to know if we can do something with it.

Hi, this topic is quite old.

I've got the same problem with imports like

from mypackage import (
    function1,
    function2,
    function3,
    function4,
    function5,
    function6,
    function7,
    function8,
    function9,
)

with the configuration

    "python.formatting.provider": "black",
    "python.formatting.blackArgs": [
        "--line-length",
        "80"
    ],
    "editor.formatOnPaste": false,
    "editor.formatOnSave": true,
    "editor.formatOnSaveMode": "file",
    // Options for isort
    "python.sortImports.args": [
        "--settings-path=${workspaceFolder}/pyproject.toml",
    ],
    "[python]": {
        "editor.codeActionsOnSave": {
            "source.organizeImports.python": true,
        },
        "editor.rulers": [
            72,
            79
        ]
    },

When I save it, the import list get into line format, then comes back to column. I tried to use the source.organizeImports.python: true instead of "source.organizeImports.python": true,, but this did not work.

Help!

Closing due to lack of additional feedback since it was opened. Adding additional scopes to code actions can help unblock the users who running into this in advanced cases
