Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?
Cursor IDE
Describe the Bug
Prettier supports package.json declarations for settings, but Cursor does not.
in VSCode the following works in package.json:
"prettier": "@apsys/prettier-config-pladia",
eg. in VSCode I get:
["INFO" - 10:37:33] Using config file at /apsys-console/package.json
in Cursor I get:
["ERROR" - 10:42:06] Invalid prettier configuration file detected. ["ERROR" - 10:42:06] Cannot find module '/Users/tomgordon/sites/apsys-console/.prettierrc.js' imported from /Users/tomgordon/sites/apsys-console/node_modules/prettier/index.mjs Error [ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND]: Cannot find module '/Users/tomgordon/sites/apsys-console/.prettierrc.js' imported from /Users/tomgordon/sites/apsys-console/node_modules/prettier/index.mjs
Steps to Reproduce
By using the prettier field in the root package.json for setting prettier configuration
Expected Behavior
The prettier extension should resolve the package.json config, as it does in VSCode
