rustfmt config file is not picked up in vs code when the project is in a subdirectory

[AlexAegis]

Consider a freshly cargo init-ed project with an added .rustfmt.toml

.
├── .rustfmt.toml
├── Cargo.toml
└── src
    └── main.rs

In this case the format config is picked up as usual and when formatting main.rs is formatted according to the configuration file.

Now consider a project where this rust project lives in a subdirectory

.
└── project
    ├── .rustfmt.toml
    ├── Cargo.toml
    ├── LICENSE
    └── src
        └── main.rs

In this case the configuration file is not picked up, and I have to symlink it to the root as a workaround or open it separately so that project is the root. I suggest calling rustfmt from the directory of the formatted .rs file instead of the project root.

I think we’ve fixed that at some point: https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer/blob/a99de65573d59d6398f472b0d42daabe9e8a5410/crates/rust-analyzer/src/handlers.rs#L959
