Is there anything special I need to do for flycheck-clj-kondo to pick up a config? The plugin works fine for me in clean project.

@finn.volkel The config is picked up using the current working directory. Emacs sets the current working directory for flycheck relative to the file you're editing

so if you're editing /foo/bar/baz.clj and your config is in /foo/bar/.clj-kondo/config.edn then it should work

there is a config at the root of the repo

does the config work from the command line?

yes

I'm not aware of any changes you should have to do to flycheck-clj-kondo. I'm using that myself every day

Solved had to restart emacs from a new session.

Sorry for the hassle

np

Is there some way to set global/default config? Something similar to .clojure/deps.edn.

I'm also curious about sparkofreason's question. And another quick question -- does .clj-kondo/config.edn replace the default config, or is it merged at the top level, or is it deep-merged? Also thanks for clj-kondo, it brings me joy!

it is deep-merged. global/system/user configs are not supported. more info here: https://github.com/borkdude/clj-kondo/issues/736 solution: make a script (use babashka for it!)
