php-cs-fixer setRules is not applied while setIndent is applied

I’m using VSCode with PHP CS Fixer v3.1.0, but rules don’t seem to be applied.

When I comment/uncomment setIndent("\t"), this setting is automatically applied and can be tested, but all rules in setRules() are not applied. For instance, arrays like $myarray = array('foo', 'bar'); is not replaced by $myarray = ['foo', 'bar']; while I have the rule array_syntax' => ['syntax' => 'short'].

What’s wrong with my configuration ?

/Users/me/.vscode/.php-cs-fixer.php :

Thanks!! Indeed, that was the problem.

Where should I put my .php-cs-fixer.php file to use it globally with the default parameter ?

"php-cs-fixer.config": ".php-cs-fixer.php;.php-cs-fixer.dist.php;.php_cs;.php_cs.dist"
