Settings not read from [isort] section in setup.cfg

I double checked the docs, the config should be named ".isort.cfg" (leading dot) - does it work then?

Oh, it's because it's looking for setup.cfg next to the test file which in my case is in a subfolder. I wonder if it could be made to look for setup.cfg from where pytestwas run.

Interesting bit. Personally, I use editorconfig to configure isort. Does this problem still exist? If yes, we should try to fix that.

I can confirm the isort.cfg from project root is ignored. I could workaround by adding a section to my tox.ini which is parsed as expected.

@stephrdev Thank you for taking the time to look into that. You are correct, my bad, .isort.cfg is read as expected 👍
