disabled-rules for ktlint in .editorconfig is ignored

Since 0.34, ktlint supports disabling rules globally with a setting in the .editorconfig file:

# Comma-separated list of rules to disable (Since 0.34.0)
# Note that rules in any ruleset other than the standard ruleset will need to be prefixed 
# by the ruleset identifier.
disabled_rules=no-wildcard-imports,experimental:annotation,my-custom-ruleset:my-custom-rule

(see https://github.com/pinterest/ktlint#custom-editorconfig-properties)

It seems like kotlinter does not pick up that configuration setting and it has to be repeated in the corresponding kotlinter configuration that was introduced in version 2.0.0.

Am I missing something or is this duplication necessary?

Maybe we need an .editorconfig.editorconfig so that IntelliJ is formatting our .editorconfig correctly.

Do you still have this line in .editorconfig?

disabled_rules              = max-line-length,import-ordering

If not, can you try gradle clean lintKotlin and see if it picks up the line length violations then? That’s the only way I could reproduce the bug. Since gradle isn’t aware of the .editorconfig file as build configuration right now there’s a wrinkle/bug where if you get a successful gradle lintKotlin run and then don’t change any source code and only adjust rules in the .editorconfig file, gradle skips running the lintKotlin task and thinks it can use the cached result 😕. Sort of a rare situation though.
