I use Emacs 30.0.91 and editorconfig-mode. Emacs version is follows: > This is GNU Emacs 30.0.91 (build 1, aarch64-apple-darwin23.6.0, NS > appkit-2487.70 Version 14.7 (Build 23H124)) of 2024-10-22 I have an .editorconfig file like this: # .editorconfig root = true [*.js] indent_size = 4 indent_style = tab # .editorconfig ends here When I open a *.js file in the same directory, the tab-width variable is not set. In the editorconfig of Emacs 28.2 and NonGNU-devel ELPA 2024-Jul-28 version installed on another machine, when I add (debug-on-variable-change 'tab-width), I get a stack trace like this: Debugger entered--setting tab-width in buffer test.js to 4: debug--implement-debug-watch(tab-width 4 set #) editorconfig-set-indentation("tab" "4" "4") editorconfig-set-local-variables(#) editorconfig--advice-find-file-noselect(# "/home/tadsan/poc-emacs30-editorconfig/test.js") apply(editorconfig--advice-find-file-noselect # "/home/tadsan/poc-emacs30-editorconfig/test.js") find-file-noselect("/home/tadsan/poc-emacs30-editorconfig/test.js") command-line-1(("-l" "init.el" "test.js")) command-line() normal-top-level() Emacs version is follows: > GNU Emacs 28.2 (build 2, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) of 2023-05-14, modified by Debian In Emacs 30.0.91, the debugger does not respond when watching the variable. The files I used to check the operation are below: https://github.com/zonuexe/poc-emacs30-editorconfig Thank you in advance for your work on the Emacs 30 release.
