Describe the bug / provide steps to reproduce it

I followed the Quick Start to setup Vale:

1. Generate .vale.ini with the config generator
2. cd to my project
3. vale sync
4. vale README.md

The last step produces this error:

E100 [NewE201] Runtime error

The path '/home/wmoore/Projects/rsspls/styles' does not exist.

Execution stopped with code 1.

Here is a transcript of my session including my config and ouput of vale ls-dirs:

$ cd rsspls
$ vale sync
 SUCCESS  Downloaded package 'RedHat'
Syncing 1 package(s) to '/home/wmoore/.local/share/vale/styles' [1/1]  100% | 2s
$ vale README.md
E100 [NewE201] Runtime error

The path '/home/wmoore/Projects/rsspls/styles' does not exist.

Execution stopped with code 1.
$ cat .vale.ini
StylesPath = styles

MinAlertLevel = suggestion

Packages = RedHat

[*]
BasedOnStyles = Vale, RedHat

$ vale ls-dirs
Asset       | Default Location                             | Found
StylesPath  | /home/wmoore/.local/share/vale/styles        | ✓
.vale.ini   | /home/wmoore/.config/vale/.vale.ini          | ✗
vale-native | /home/wmoore/.config/vale/native/vale-native | ✗

$ env | grep VALE
# no matches

It appears to be syncing to the default StylesPath but looking for a project local one when performing checks.

In case it may help you temporarily: I solved the problem changing the StylesPath property in the .dev.ini to .:

#StylesPath = styles
StylesPath = .

MinAlertLevel = suggestion

Packages = RedHat
