How to use my .clang-tidy config with the extension

[BenniWi]

Hi @ALL,

I already have a .clang-tidy config file for my project.
I would like to use this file as input to the clang-tidy extension for VS Code.
How can I tell the extension to use this config file instead of listing all checks in my VS Code settings?

Thanks for the help

Actually I would like to answer this question on my own since I just figured it out.

I don't know if it is intended like that, but it works if I specify a compiler argument
"clang-tidy.compilerArgs": [ "--config-file=.clang-tidy" ]

I did not really take a look into the code yet, but I think my question is related to this pull request.
Obviously it is not intended to pass arguments to the clang-tidy executable via the compilerArgs.
Question remains then, why it works !?
