Relative paths getting passed to editorconfig_parse(). about editorconfig-qtcreator HOT 1 OPEN

So far your analysis is right. Editorconfig can only work with full path information. So the plugin simply ignores relative paths and the editorconfig-core-c library gives a diagnostic message, which can be considered as a warning.

The question is, where you get a file with a relative path from. As far as I know, documents in qtcreator always have an absolute path. Even when creating new documents it will be asked for a folder, except for scratch buffers. for those "/tmp" is used.

A quick test with qtcreator 4.12 on linux confirms that. But especially cmake support has heavily changed in 4.12. So, maybe the qtcreator version or the operatiing system plays a role.

Can you give more details or better a minimal example project, which show this problem?
