Respect inherit_gem directive

[swiknaba]

I started investigating an issue, and though it was related to #62 (comment), however, I believe "my" problem is a different one.

Assume a .rubocop.yml file as follows:

# .rubocop.yml

inherit_gem:
  rubocop-rails_config:
    - config/rails.yml

(taken from https://github.com/toshimaru/rubocop-rails_config/#usage)

then this VSCode extension does not correctly inherit the settings from the rubocop-rails_config gem.

Docs for the inherit_gem directive: https://docs.rubocop.org/rubocop/configuration.html#inheriting-configuration-from-a-dependency-gem

How to test

Write code that follows the style of the said gem, but violates Rubocop default settings. Then bundle exec rubocop will succeed, but running rubocop:lint using this VSCode extension will fail.
Setting the rubocop config path in VSCode to ~/.rbenv/versions/2.7.2/lib/ruby/gems/2.7.0/bundler/gems/rubocop-rails_config-xxx/config/rails.yml solves the problem, but is not desired, since it should support different settings for each repo, i.e. just leaving the field blank should resolve the local .rubocop.yml file correctly.

Hi @swiknaba, did you find a solution? we are having as similar problem :(

sadly, I have no solution. Currently, I just enforce the rubocop config path in VSCode, and I've put that in a .vscode/settings.jon file in each repo, so that I don't have to change VSCode settings when I switch codebase.

I resolve the same issue by upgrading my rubocop-shopify gem to the latest version 2.7.0 faced an issue with 2.6.0
The issue is the same you can try the latest version of rubocop-rails_config
I had this setting in my rubocop.yml

inherit_gem: rubocop-shopify: rubocop.yml

Thanks really helpful.
