Settings do not apply if .editorconfig file is not in curently opened folder / workspace

[gardient]

Please fill-in this template.

• I have a question that is specific to this extension; thus, inappropriate for the main EditorConfig issue tracker.
• I tried running code --disable-extensions and the issue did NOT present itself. (Does not apply as my problem is with the extensions functionality)

Delete the following condition if it doesn't apply to your case:

If the extension is not picking up the expected configuration for a file:

• I tried npm install editorconfig -g and ran editorconfig [file-in-question] and the configuration was what I expected. If not, please file on the editorconfig-core-js issue tracker.

Issue

	Visual Studio Code	editorconfig-vscode
Version	1.17.2	0.11.1

Root .editorconfig File

root = true

[*]
insert_final_newline = true
trim_trailing_whitespace = true
indent_style = space
indent_size = 4
end_of_line = crlf

Are there any other relevant .editorconfig files in your project? No

Visual Studio Code Setting	Default	User	Workspace
editor.insertSpaces	true	true	____
editor.tabSize	4	2	_
editor.trimAutoWhitespace	true	true	____
files.autoSave	"off"	"off"	"___"
files.insertFinalNewline	false	false	_____
files.trimTrailingWhitespace	false	false	_____

File opened

relative to root .editorconfig: ./dir1/dir2/dir3/dir4/foo.sql
relative to folder opened in VS Code: ./dir4/foo.sql

Expected behavior

insert_final_newline = true
trim_trailing_whitespace = true
indent_style = space
indent_size = 4
end_of_line = crlf

Actual behavior

VS Code settings

Additional comments or steps to reproduce

The .editorconfig file is 3 directories up from directory opened in VS Code

Please clarify the atual behavior. Which vscode settings have been set? It looks like you have no workspace settings, so is it applying your user settings? Please be very specific.

Also, are the settings applied different than running editorconfig ./dir4/foo.sql? If so, which part is different?

[gardient]

No workspace settings

Actual behavior

insert_final_newline = false
indent_size = 2

these are different from running editorconfig ./dir4/foo.sql

can't reproduce it at home so will have to check again at work

My issue is similar to that of @gardient (I also try the same fixes he did), but the editorconfig settings are still not applied:

Expected Settings:

root = true

[*]
end_of_line = lf
insert_final_newline = true
charset = utf-8
indent_size = 4
indent_style = space

[{*.json,.vera}]
indent_size = 2

Tried:
editorconfig ./src/components/StatelessRadio.js

Got the actual settings:

end_of_line=lf
insert_final_newline=true
charset=utf-8
indent_size=4
indent_style=space
tab_width=4

I don't know where tab_width=4came from and my eslint is still shouting like crazy...

[gsemet]

i think this plugin does not support the [{...}] synthax

[xuhdev]

@AKFourSeven You should use [*.json], not [{*.json}].

[gsemet]

it's a legal syntax. [*.{js,json}] for instance should work, but I don't find a way to have it working with vscode

[xuhdev]

If you don't have a comma inside the curly braces, the curly braces are treated as literals.

[akougblenou]

Sorry there was something missing in my post, I just corrected it :
it's [{*.json,.vera}] and not just [[*.json}], should I still remove the curly braces ?

I thought there was a typo with .vera as in I should right *.vera and that got it to work for 10 seconds, and then it got problematic again (wrong spaces and whatnot!!)

[xuhdev]

@AKFourSeven I guess you want [*.{json,vera}]. In your version, *.vera would not match.

[akougblenou]

I will change that, but it seems to work better now anyways !!

[jednano]

It looks like the current state of this issue is that people cannot reproduce or it's now working better after some config tweaks, so I'm going to close until further notice.

[tacone]

After creating the .editorconfig file, I had to close and re-open vscode for it to notice.

Note for some people as me: for [*.{ts,tsx}] do not use space after comma!
