config overrides do not work for files in the parent directory

[Shayan-To]

I'm using prettier to format config/data files (json, xml, etc.) in a DotNet (C#) project. So I decided to create a sub-directory, have package.json and configuration files there, and run prettier --write ../**/*.{json,xml} from the sub-directory.

The problem I'm having is with the xml files. I have installed @prettier/plugin-xml, added this to the config file:

    "overrides": [
        {
            "files": "*.xml",
            "options": {
                "parser": "xml"
            }
        }
    ],
    "plugins": ["@prettier/plugin-xml"]

This works for the xml files inside the sub-directory, but does not work for xml files in the parent directory.

Here's the output:

test-file-1.xml 26ms
[error] No parser could be inferred for file: ../test-file-2.xml

I tried changing "files": "*.xml" to "files": "**/*.xml" and "files": "../**/*.xml", but the behavior is the same.

What can I do? Is there any workaround?
