I am trying to make the formatting onsave work for doom emacs after upgrading it to the latest version. At this moment the language server is doing the formatting but I miss my old config that I used with `JuliaFormatter.jl`. I have a `.JuliaFormatter.toml` in my parent dir of my package but it seems that the `LanguageServer,jl` is not seeing this.

It looks like this is an intended behaviour according to [this](https://github.com/julia-vscode/LanguageServer.jl/issues/1115). I cannot find any information about a config file in the `LanguageServer.jl` docs for formatting.

How should I pass my formatting config options to `LanguageServer.jl`? Is there a way for `LanguageServer.jl` to read my `.JuliaFormatter.toml`?

I had the `.JuliaFormatter.toml` in the parent directory of my package. Copying it into the `/src` folder alongside my code fixed my issue.

This seems to be maybe a bug of `LanguageServer.jl` because they state that they search up the directories to find a `.JuliaFormatter.toml`.
