Prettier ignores .prettierrc rules located in root project folder.

[bassamanator]

I created a .prettierrc in the root folder of my project.

{
  "trailingComma": "es5",
  "tabWidth": 2,
  "semi": false,
  "singleQuote": true
}

However, prettier continues to add semicolons at the end of my .js files. What have I done wrong here?

(Also, is it possible to get prettier to ignore semicolons, meaning just ignore them (if they're there, leave them, and if they're not there, ignore them)??)

prettier-atom version: 0.60.1
prettier: bundled
prettier version: 2.0.5
prettier-eslint version: 9.0.1
prettier-atom configuration: {
  "formatOnSaveOptions": {
    "enabled": false,
    "respectEslintignore": true,
    "showInStatusBar": false,
    "excludedGlobs": [],
    "whitelistedGlobs": [],
    "isDisabledIfNotInPackageJson": false,
    "isDisabledIfNoConfigFile": false,
    "ignoreNodeModules": true
  },
  "useEslint": false,
  "useStylelint": false,
  "useEditorConfig": true,
  "prettierEslintOptions": {
    "prettierLast": false
  }
}

EDIT: I should also let you know that I don't have prettier installed as a dependency; it's installed in atom and that is all.

@bassamanator Sorry this slipped through the cracks, did you try restarting Atom. We currently have the prettierrc file cached for performance reasons but are not watching for updates. See #270
