I’m not sure how the clj.kondo extension works here. And also not sure what the monorepo workflow really looks like. But it might be that the clj-kondo extensions needs to provide a setting for where to find the config file.

I’m not sure why someone wouldn’t want the linting config in the root. But this happens to me when I have several repos open in workspace, their independent linting configs aren’t used

yes, it's because the current working directory of the plugin is determined by one of those repos

I fixed this issue with https://github.com/borkdude/clj-kondo/issues/907

oh, awesome. thank you!

should now be available as 2020.5.90 in VSCode
