I am linting my project from two places. Firstly, I runeslint in a shell as part of the CI process. This will have a current working directory that is the location of the.eslintrc file.

I also run the ESLint plugin in VS Code. The current working directory for this is the project root, which is not the same location.

If I set theproject setting to betsconfig.json, andtsconfigRootDir to be. then I can runeslint from the shell. And if I settsconfigRootDir to bepath/to/my/subproject then I can use the VS code plugin. But there is no possible combination of options that let's both work.

Furthermore,tsconfigRootDir seems to be entirely redundant anyway, because there is no combination ofproject andtsconfigRootDir that can't be just concatenated into theproject field, like{ "project": "path/to/my/subproject/tsconfig.json" }
