cmake-ide-rdm-rc-path in .dir-locals.el not taken into account? about cmake-ide HOT 2 OPEN

I guess it has something to do with where you put your .dir-locals.el. I just set the variable manually and it worked, so AFAICT it's not anything to do with cmake-ide.

from cmake-ide.

It worked too when I set the variable manually, but still not when I set it in .dir-locals.el.

I've setup a minimal repository here: https://github.com/benbovy/check-cmake-ide-rdm-path. Maybe this can help.

I opened the cpp file, and the rdm server started ignoring the path to .rdmrc, despite this output of describe-variable:

cmake-ide-rdm-rc-path is a variable defined in `cmake-ide.el'.
Its value is
"/Users/bbovy/Git/github/benbovy/check-cmake-ide-rdm-path/.rdmrc"
Original value was ""
Local in buffer helloworld.cpp; global value is ""

  This variable's value is directory-local, set by the file
  `/Users/bbovy/Git/github/benbovy/check-cmake-ide-rdm-path/.dir-locals.el'.
  This variable is safe as a file local variable if its value
  satisfies the predicate `stringp'.

So it looks like the value is set properly (note: it doesn't work either with a relative path to .rdmrc). Is there anything wrong with this setup? For other cmake-ide related variable that I put in .dir-locals.el I usually don't have any problem.
