Loading configuration file from user's home if none found in project root ?

[playahater]

Environments:

• Prettier Version: 1.18.2
• Running Prettier via: CLI, vim-prettier
• Runtime: Node v12.9.1
• Operating System: Archlinux

Steps to reproduce:

• Remove local prettier configuration file from the project document root
• Place the configuration options in ~/.prettierrc [ user's home directory ]
• go to project document root
• run either of these: prettier --config-precedence 'prefer-file' --write path/to/file prettier --config-precedence 'file-override' --write path/to/file prettier --write path/to/file

Expected behavior: The configuration options should be loaded from the user's home directory and written to a file.

Actual behavior: The configuration options are not loaded. Prettier default ones are used instead.

So i tried using vim-prettier [ which actually uses prettier config resolver ] and using cli outside of vim and got the same results.

Am I i doing something wrong or this feature is not supported anymore ? Or it never was ? If i copy the configuration from user's home to a project root, everything works as expected.

Any feedback is more than appreciated in advance.

I'm also getting this issue and would love to be able to have a global config that applies as the base default. @playahater did you ever find a solution to this?

@keyboard-clacker unfortunately not. Doing manual copy of the rc file in the project root.

Prettier isn't going to support any kind of global configuration. See https://github.com/prettier/prettier/issues/8094#issuecomment-616444163
