Cannot set swiftformat.path in .vscode/settings.json

[tossense]

Description

• When attempting to set swiftformat.path in .vscode/settings.json, VS Code shows the error:

  This setting can only be applied in user settings in local window or in remote settings in remote window.
  

Background

• Our team development aims to minimize manual setup work and ensure consistent tool versions across all developers.
• The project uses CocoaPods to include SwiftFormat as a dependency.
• After a successful pod install, everyone (including CI pipelines) can directly use SwiftFormat via the relative path Pods/SwiftFormat/CommandLineTool/swiftformat.
• We want set the relative path in .vscode/settings.json.

Discussion

Is this limitation set from a security perspective?

Thank you~

BTW, setting swiftlint.path in .vscode/settings.json for SwiftLint works fine :)

I think one of the issues is that this extension currently doesn't support relative paths (it partially supports them for swift packages) 😔

Just opened a PR #61 that should theoretically enable relative paths

Btw I just noticed that specifying local path in user global settings somehow worked 🌚
