.rubocop.yml is not working on windows 10

[vinyar]

__Environment: __
Rubocop version: 0.35.1
Chef Development Kit Version: 0.10.0
chef-client version: 12.5.1
berks version: 4.0.1
kitchen version: 1.4.2

Workflow:
rubocop --auto-gen-config
touch .rubocop.yml
paste inherit_from: .rubocop_todo.yml into .rubocop.yml

Result:
(Windows) The .rubocop.yml file is seemingly ignored, and all of the syntax errors are still flagged.
(OSX) The exact same steps result in expected behavior (0 errors)

Testing:

• providing an invalid filename to inherit_from: blabla_todo.yml does throw an error, which means the inherit statement is being processed, but for some reason doesn't take effect on windows.
• rubocop --config .rubocop.yml does not make a different. All of the errors are reported.
• rubocop --config .rubocop_todo.yml however does work as expected, and comes back with zero offenses.

@vinyar I don't have a Windows 10 machine, so I can't reproduce this problem. But if you are willing to debug it and come up with a fix, I can guide you through the process. Do you want to try?

Ping @vinyar.

I went on PTO last week leaving my workstation at repair center. I'll see if I can find a way to setup a repro somewhere.

[alexdowad]

@vinyar, are you still interested in debugging this problem?

I think there's a chance that the problem was solved by #2665. Please re-open if it wasn't.

[vinyar]

will do, and I am still interested, just not working on any windows project atm.

Also, @alexdowad in case you didn't know, there are a couple w10 images here:
