👋 @Jack-Works! Try

await require('prettier').resolveConfigFile(require('path').resolve(process.cwd(), 'foobar.json'))

Config file is resolved relative to a file path, not dir path.

@kachkaev any reason why this shouldn't work with directories? Seems kind of wrong to have to put some random file name just to get this to work

await require('prettier').resolveConfigFile(require('path').resolve(process.cwd(), 'foobar.json'))
//                                                                                      ^^

This was changed in #15363, but I intended to change behavior for resolveConfig(). It kind of make sense that resolveConfigFile() can accept a directory.

I'm curious what the usage of resolveConfigFile in your case, we don't have any API accept the config file path.

Oh this would be awesome and actually what I need!

I wasn't sure why passing a directory to resolveConfig didn't work so I though I needed to use the value from resolveConfigFile and pass that to resolveConfig.

const configPath = await prettier.resolveConfigFile(dest);
if (!configPath) return;
const config = await prettier.resolveConfig(configPath);

This is how I came across this issue because passing a directory to resolveConfigFile didn't work either so end up having to do something like this

const configPath = await prettier.resolveConfigFile(`${dest}/hey.json`);
if (!configPath) return;
const config = await prettier.resolveConfig(configPath);

All in all, if resolveConfig could accept a directory than that would 100% solve my issue

const config = await prettier.resolveConfig(dest);

We can't accept directory in .resolveConfig(), We support overrides in .prettierrc, can't tell the config without filename.

Can you clarify? Not sure how overrides effect this 🤔

We can't accept directory in .resolveConfig()

❓ Doesn't this function recursively just look up the file path searching for a prettier config and returns it if it finds one? 🤔

Ahhhh got ya! Thanks for the explanation 🙇🏽‍♂️
