composer.json not detected if not in root directory

[LewisW]

We've changed what we store in our repository to include our deployment and provisioning scripts, since they're so closely linked to each app anyway.

The problem we have now, is that there's no way to tell Scrutinizer where our base path is. We can set it only scrutinize our PHP code using filter -> paths, but it seems to only look for things like composer.json in the root directory. This means we miss out of a number of the automated inspections.

Is there anyway round this?

We face the same problem, and it causes a mountain of false positives, too.

We are facing the same issue here. Any solutions to this?

Have worked around this by creating a symlink in the root to the composer.json and composer.lock file, but it would be nice not to have to duplicate content
