Unable to change lintr settings with ~\.lintr file

[andrewag117]

Trying to change the lintr settings that are used by languageserver for continuous linting. Created a .lintr file in the home directory as per the lintr package and configured the settings I wanted. Confirmed that the file was correct by running lintr::lint("test.R") in the terminal, which worked appropriately.

However the dynamic linting in the editor is not reflecting the specifications in this file.
