nim.cfg files not recognized

[ratiotile]

Project-level nim.cfg files should be recognized as config files. Error squiggles should not be showing up. vscode-nim 0.6.1 Fresh install of vs code 1.28.2 nim 0.19.0

@ratiotile these errors produced by nim check <project.nim> command, it seems You have incorrect config file

[ratiotile]

The syntax is correct because the nim compiler recognizes the arguments and compiles the project correctly.

[kosz78]

Could you please execute nim check <project.nim> command and shows output?

[ratiotile]

To clarify, I have 2 levels of config files in my project: the project-level nim.cfg with settings global to the project and separate <main.nim.cfg> files for each entry point. The error squiggles only show up on the nim.cfg file.

nim check src\module_dll.nim shows:

Hint: used config file 'C:\Nim\config\nim.cfg' [Conf]
Hint: used config file '<...>\src\nim.cfg' [Conf]
Hint: used config file '<...>\src\module_dll.nim.cfg' [Conf]

nim check is intended to work on .nim source files, not the nim.cfg. The config file syntax is different.

VsCode should not be running nim check on *.cfg files.

This is also an issue with nimscript files (which typically fill the same role as .cfg files)

Unless there is some way to make nim check understand the default nimscript environment, I think both *.cfg and *.nims files should not be checked.
