The editor still shows 2 spaces indentation

If I change the style to tabs it still goes for spaces. So I think the .editorconfig isn't applied at all.

What am I doing wrong?

Hi @codeofsumit, thanks for reporting that. I'm sorry for the confusion about tree i have to change that.

Could you please invoke the EditorConfig: Show Status command in that misformatted file and paste the output here? I would like to know which attributes are being applied.

[codeofsumit]

You mean Show State?

That's the output for the file mentioned in my previous comment.

Mhhh now after waking up the mac again, I reopened all the files and it seems to be working. I relaunched atom yesterday and reopened the files with no luck. Now updating the configfile automatically changes the settings for every file, opened or not 🎉

I close this then - sorry about this. It somehow fixed itself :) Thanks for the fast reply!

No worries, thank you for reporting the issue. I guess this may be caused by a community package. I will dig into this as soon as i have some spare time. :)
