xo config `overrides` in package.json are ignored

[squarefeet]

When specifying an overrides section in the xo config in package.json, any file globbing patterns or paths will never match.

When xo runs, it is setting the cwd to be the parent directory of the file being linted, rather than the parent directory of the package.json file that it found the xo config in so when optionsManager.findApplicableOverrides( ... ) is called, it will never return anything.

I did note that one can apparently set the chdir setting in SublimeLinter itself to be the project's root ("chdir": "${project}") however that hasn't made any difference to my problem.

Could it be that the xo linter is ignoring the chdir setting?

Hey @squarefeet 🙂 I was having a similar issue and came across this! Just a heads up, the optionsManager.findApplicableOverrides you mentioned is part of the xo project here: https://github.com/sindresorhus/xo/blob/5209ec86412cdbbee6a2bcae860faf40fbfb51a9/index.js#L19 - if it's a bug in xo core, it could be suitable over there
