The troubleshooting document says that linters are run from the workspace root:
However, as reported in #717, linters are in fact not run from the workspace root.
This comment says that not running from the workspace root is intentional. It allows people to put multiple linter configuration files in the project. We expect linters to look recursively up the directory tree to find their configuration file.
This means that the behavior is not a bug. The documentation is wrong.
This pull request fixes the documentation.
