Autopep8 argument didn't works

[bagustris]

I tested it works with autopep8 command line but failed with this extension.

Steps to reproduce,

autopep8 --in-place --aggressive --aggressive file.py

Setting in settings.json

{
[python]":
 "editor.defaultFormatter": "ms-python.autopep8",
  "editor.formatOnSave": true,
    "autopep8.args": [
        "--in-place",
        "--aggressive",
        "--aggressive"
    ],
}

So I assume that the problem is with this vscode extension and not the original autopep8 and report the problem here.

When I hover in the argument parts, it says: This setting cannot be applied because it is not registered as language override setting.

The extension does not support using—in-place. This is by design. This is to support formatting unsaved files and notebook cells. if you want to format on save, the content is not on disk yet. The content is in memory. We use autopep8 formatting over stdin to achieve this.

@karthiknadig OK, I confirmed it works if I deleted --in-place but only if these args are located outside [python]. It won't work if these args are located inside [python].
