.cspell.json not recognised in VSCode notebook editor

[mmikhasenko]

Code Checker in VS code does not find .cspell.json by default.

It seems to be looking for the cscpell.json (no dot) according to

likely, the solution is to add the right name to the vs code config, but I have not figured out what

Thanks for reporting.
I also had some problems with this recently. I have the impression it only happens in notebooks, when viewing them with the Jupyter editor. If you open them with the text editor, the problem does not arise.

Yes, this indeed seems to be a problem specific to WSL. The VSCode Jupyter editor does recognise the cSpell config on Ubuntu.

Renaming the config from .cspell.json to cspell.json also doesn't seem to fix the problem. I have the impression that the VSCode Jupyter editor does not recognise it 'lives' in the workspace folder and searches somewhere else for the config.
