The function
util.root_path
loops first from a list of patterns and then searches for matching files on parent folders.See https://github.com/paulodiovani/nvim-lspconfig/blob/a9bc587e9ae0cbcb3e90a2e9342f86b3b78c4408/lua/lspconfig/util.lua#L279-L281
This makes the pattern list have precedence over paths, often matching patterns on parent folders before closest ones.
The issue happens with Gradle Multi Project Builds using Kotlin LS as described at fwcd/kotlin-language-server#559.
This PR swaps the loops, making sure all patterns are searched on each dir before moving up the ladder.
util
package, this may affect other LSP Servers.If it breaks any of them I can find a solution for Kotlin LS alone.
