Editorconfig does not work over TRAMP in Emacs?

I have installed editorconfig mode in Ubuntu 14.04, Emacs 24 (manually, as advised on github), and it works nicely locally (I also have catch-all .editorconfig in the $HOME dir.)

However, when editing via ssh/tramp on another Ubuntu 14.04 host (tried without and with editorconfig package for EditConfig C Core installed there), .editorconfig-files seem to be totally ignored, not even my home dir one taken into account.

Is it just a sad limitation or am I missing some configuration?

Solution

  • Unfortunately, this is a limitation. One thing you can do is to use sshfs to mount a remote file system locally and edit the file via that way.
