Global meteor.json

[gerstorfer]

🐛 Describe the bug

The config file .meteor.json is not found when placed in $HOME. Everything works as expected, when .meteor.json is placed above the working dir (even deeply nested) until the uppermost dir is the home directory.

It would be nice to have a global configuration in ~/.meteor.json and/or ~/.config/meteor.json and/or ~/.config/meteor/meteor.json

Versions

meteor version 0.18.0

Nice catch! I think I know what's causing the issue and will release a fixed version as soon as I have some time.

In regards to having multiple places for the global configuration, it becomes a bit more tricky. If a user has the config file at each of those locations, which takes priority? I've solved this locally by symlinking all of my dotfiles to the $HOME directory

Great! Looking forward to it.
