Settings are not being used

[Geoff Maddock]

I'm running VS Code using WSL1 Ubuntu (on Windows).

I've installed this extension into VS Code and specified the configurations in the settings:

Config File: ./.php-cs-fixer.php (it's in the root of my project)
Executable: php-cs-fixer (this is installed locally)
OnSave: checked
Path Mode: override

When I open a file and hit save, I get a generic error:
PHP-CS-FIXER: An error occurred

I opened up the Developer Tools, hit save again, and see the details of the command failing:

PHP-CS-Fixer: An error occurred.

No, interestingly, you'll notice that it's not using the config file I specified. So in case it didn't like the non-full path, I specified the full path:
/c/Users/geoff.maddock/PhpstormProjects/cadence/.php-cs-fixer.php

I re-saved, and got the same error in the console, and the path was NOT updated to the value in the settings.

To dig a bit deeper, I opened up the User settings.json and found these keys were set for php-cs-fixer:

   "vscode-php-cs-fixer.fixOnSave": false,
    "vscode-php-cs-fixer.toolPath": "/home/gmaddock/.config/composer/vendor/bin/php-cs-fixer",
    "php-cs-fixer.executable": "php-cs-fixer",
    "php-cs-fixer.configFile": "/c/Users/geoff.maddock/PhpstormProjects/cadence/.php-cs-fixer.php"
    "php-cs-fixer.onsave": true,
    "php-cs-fixer.rules": "@PSR2",
    "php-cs-fixer.formatHtml": true,
    "php-cs-fixer.executablePath": "php-cs-fixer",
    "php-cs-fixer.config": "./.php-cs-fixer",

A bit stumped as to what is going on here - no matter what I set the config setting to, the error still says it cannot read ".php-cs-fixer"

    "php-cs-fixer.config": "/c/Users/geoff.maddock/PhpstormProjects/cadence/.php-cs-fixer.php"

.config not .configFile

Not sure what the deal exactly was there, but once I wiped out those extra settings, used the full path for both the executable and the config, and restarted ALL instances of vscode that I had open (I had three), it worked.

Thanks for a super useful extension!
