Cannot disable rules using the new syntax

[Nohus]

I'm trying to disable a rule. This editorconfig works fine:

root = true

[*.kt]
disabled_rules=package-name

This is however marked as deprecated and generates a lot of warning. When trying to use the new syntax:

root = true

[*.kt]
ktlint_standard_package-name = disabled

The rule is not disabled. I am running ktlint through the Spotless Gradle plugin: https://github.com/diffplug/spotless/tree/main/plugin-gradle
Running either the spotlessCheck or spotlessApply task.

I believe this is caused by the spotless integration. Spotless specifies the
editorConfigOverride instead of the editorConfigDefault parameter in code block below:

return KtLint.INSTANCE.format(new KtLint.ExperimentalParams(
				name,
				text,
				allRuleProviders,
				userData,
				formatterCallback,
				isScript,
				false,
				EditorConfigDefaults.Companion.getEMPTY_EDITOR_CONFIG_DEFAULTS(),
				editorConfigOverride,
				false));

As a result, the settings in your .editorconfig file are overriden by the configuration specified by Spotless.

Please contact Spotless maintainers and report back here. Most likely this is related to diffplug/spotless#142

This use case seems to be working fine for me after diffplug/spotless#1444, make sure you're using plugin-gradle 6.13.0

Thank you, updating the Spotless plugin from 6.12.1 to 6.13.0 resolved the issue.
