apply different settings in different subdirectories

[temyurchenko]

Hi, I have a project-wide isort configuration in pyproject.toml. However, in a certain subdirectory I'd like to have different settings. I've created a .isort.cfg file in that directory with the desired settings.

I expect that running isort . in the root directory would result in formatting files in that subdirectory according to the rules in the .isort.cfg.

I get those files formatted according to the rules in pyproject.toml.

What can I do to achieve the desired?

This is a recent enhancement to isort to support multiple config files across sub-directories. You can find some the flags here:

isort/isort/main.py

Line 273 in c5e8fa7

"--resolve-all-configs",

and

isort/isort/main.py

Line 265 in c5e8fa7

"--config-root",

. As an example, you could do something like this
isort directory --resolve-all-configs --config-root directory and that should do the trick.

I'll add separate documentation about this in the config files section.

Hope this helps and let me know if there are any more concerns.

Thanks a lot for that feature! It seems to work pretty good in general, but it doesn't seem to account for supported_extensions. Here's a minimal subconfig .isort.cfg:

[settings]
line_length=100
known_first_party=evm
supported_extensions=["cairo"]

Files like *.cairo don't get reformatted.

Thanks @murcake for pointing this out! I'll have a look and will work to remediate this in the coming releases.

One other thing, acting on your question, I added documentation regarding this feature, you can check it out here: https://github.com/PyCQA/isort/pull/1850/files, if you think that the added documentation lacks in anyway do let me know.

The documentation is good)
