From: Dan Connolly <dckc <at> madmode.com> To: bug-gnu-emacs <at> gnu.org Subject: 25.2; changes to .dir-locals.el are not picked up when .dir-locals.el is a symlink Date: Tue, 26 Jan 2021 15:47:21 -0600
1. Create ~/projects/m/.dir-locals.el file to set tab-width to 4. 2. Visit ~/projects/m/xyz.c and verify that tabs use 4 spaces 3. mv ~/projects/m/.dir-locals.el to ~/.emacs.d/m-locals.el 4. ln -s ~/.emacs.d/m-locals.el ~/projects/m/.dir-locals.el 5. Change 4 6 in ~/.emacs.d/m-locals.el 6. in the xyz.c buffer, M-x revert-buffer expected result: 7. tabs use 6 spaces actual result: 7. no change; tabs still use 4 spaces work-around: (setq dir-locals-directory-cache nil) before step 6.
