composer.json discovery fails in VS Code remote

[mmarseu]

In my (admittedly specific) use case the plugin is unable to find composer.json, which is plainly present in the root of the workspace.

Environment

Running VS Code with a devcontainer in Rancher Desktop. Prettier plugin is running inside the container.
prettier and @prettier/plugin-php are installed locally inside node_modules and the VS Code plugin uses the local installation.

Settings:
"phpVersion": "composer"

Filesystem layout:

• /workspaces/myproject/
  • composer.json
  • .prettierrc
  • node_modules/
  • src/
    • a.php

Result

When run on src/a.php through VS Code, the plugin fails.

["ERROR" - 9:22:26 AM] Error formatting document.
["ERROR" - 9:22:26 AM] Could not determine PHP version from composer; Could not find composer.json

When doing the same thing through the CLI, not the VS Code plugin, everything works as expected.

Cause

A little bit of digging turns up the root cause here:

plugin-php/src/options.mjs

Line 23 in 0c883a4

const currentDir = process.cwd();

In my environment, prettier is run in this directory: /vscode/vscode-server/bin/linux-x64/360a4e4fd251bfce169a4ddf857c7d25d1ad40da
The recursive search for composer.json upwards from process.cwd() fails.

I don't feel qualified to suggest a solution but maybe search from the target file's location upwards, instead of the process' working dir?
