Description

My VS Code workspace is a src folder with a web and api subfolders:

• web is a React app
• api is a Rails API, where my Gemfile.lock is located

It has the following structure

├src
│   ├── web
│   ├── api
│   │     ├── Gemfile.lock

When my VSCode workspace folder is the src directory (with no Gemfile.lock at root). When opening it like that, the formatter is set to none, ruby-lsp doesn't seem to find rubocop, which is part of my Gemfile.

group :development do
  gem 'rubocop', require: false
end

When I open VSCode directly in the api folder , ruby-lsp and the rubocop formatter work fine.

having same problem here, the solution was to add gem 'ruby-lsp', '~> 0.5.1' to project gemfile yet it is not recommended

Closing this based on the discussion Shopify/vscode-ruby-lsp#655 (comment). We will tackle #1510 instead which should also allow this to work.
