prettier.tabWidth not working
See original GitHub issueI have added a .prettierrc to the root of a project i am working on and have set tabWidth to be 4. When i format a document the code gets formatted but the tab width is 2 spaces wide. This happens to all types of files (.js, .scss, .css, etc).
In the VSC User Settings i have also "editor.tabSize": 4,
I am using the latest versions of VSC and Prettier on Windows 10. Can anyone tell me why i can’t change the tab width?
