added function to find project root

[christopherpickering]

This is intended to address #57. It correctly finds the project root, but somehow pylint is still not using the settings from pyproject.toml....

@kaste do you have any ideas what is up?

Normally I have to add a init.py file to my project root, but in this case where we are linting one file, the pylint docs say this "should" work: https://pylint.pycqa.org/en/latest/user_guide/usage/run.html

Hm. I don't see that directly in their docs. What's the passage I should read?

Btw there is no pathlib generally available - we're running on Python 3.3 😋 - you have that installed from somewhere, somehow.

But you also checked that the working dir follows and is correct after your patch? A typical pylint complication is that we provide files (paths) to it but it really wants the dotted package.module thing so that could be in play here. See #52

Hey thanks :)
Here's the docs I was referring too:

Oh shucks, I wonder why it was running w/ path lib then? lol
It was setting the project_dir correctly. I'll switch to os.path and see what happens.

@kaste the var self.context["project_root"] is set correctly, but how do I verify sublimelinter is using it?

I just added a print(self.context["project_root"]) after setting it, but thats not a good way to check it..

Here's the console output from the linter. Should I be setting working_dir instead of project_root?

[christopherpickering]

feeling dumb.... I had a settings override for the pylint working_dir "working_dir": "${file_path}". I removed that and it works!

It is using my root pyproject now. Thanks :)
