.editorconfig override path

Hi there

Great plugin, our team loves using it!

I recently upgraded to 0.7.0 and started to notice that previously acceptable kotlin files were now marked with ktlint errors. Specifically the line length error. On closer inspection it seemed to be reporting the line length and import ordering as the default ktlint values and not the values that we have set in our .editorconfig file.

I don't remember having to manually configure the editorconfig file in previous versions of the plugin but as a workaround I added the folder that contains this file to the .editorconfig override path in the settings menu and that worked.

The location of our editorconfig hasn't changed ever and has always been in the root of the project.

android
  | app
    | build.gradle
  | settings.gradle
  | gradlew
  | build.gradle
  | .editorconfig

I'm running Windows if that matters.

Can confirm that the editor config at project root is not being picked up. Setting override works, though. Multi module maven project on linux.

Thanks for flagging this! I'll take a look today 😄

@phanimahesh by chance - did this issue also arise with 0.7.0 specifically for you? Or has it always been the case?

[nbadal]

Fix added to 0.7.1 😀

I installed the plugin recently and discovered the issue. Not sure if it always existed or was a regression.

[nbadal]

Great, just wanted to make sure it was the same cause! 0.7.1 should be rolling out shortly

Hi @nbadal mega thanks for the quick patch! I received the update today and tested it out by removing the workaround I mentioned above. Seemed fine for the day of use I had. I didn't restart the IDE in that time but...... I'm assuming that doesn't matter.

Cheers again.
