linter: `plugins` inside `overrides` don't get applied

[Miodec]

What version of Oxlint are you using?

0.16.6

What command did you run?

oxlint ., vsc extension does the same

What does your .oxlintrc.json config file look like?

{
  "extends": ["../packages/oxlint-config/index.json"],
  "overrides": [
    {
      "files": ["__tests__/**"],
      "plugins": ["jest", "vitest"],
      "rules": {
        // "no-unused-vars": "off"
      }
    }
  ]
}

The contents of the oxlint-config/index.json don't matter in this case but here you go:

{
  "ignorePatterns": ["node_modules", "dist", "coverage", "build"],
  "categories": {
    "correctness": "error",
    "suspicious": "error",
    "perf": "error"
  },
  "plugins": ["typescript", "unicorn", "oxc", "import", "node", "promise"],
  "rules": {
    "no-unused-vars": [
      "error",
      {
        "argsIgnorePattern": "^(_|e|event)",
        "caughtErrorsIgnorePattern": "^(_|e|error)",
        "varsIgnorePattern": "^_"
      }
    ],
    "no-await-in-loop": "allow",
    "consistent-function-scoping": "off",
    "prefer-add-event-listener": "off",
    "no-unsafe-optional-chaining": "off",
    "no-new": "off",
    "no-new-array": "off",
    "no-useless-spread": "off",
    "no-unneeded-ternary": "off",
    "no-async-endpoint-handlers": "off",
    "no-this-alias": "off"
  }
}

What happened?

When trying to setup overrides for my test files, i wanted to enable the jest and vitest plugins for test files. I noticed that adding plugins inside overrides does nothing - it only works when added to the root of the config file. I verified the override is being applied correctly by disabling the no-unused-vars rule as a quick test.

Plugins in overrides, not working

Verified override is being applied by disabling no-unused-vars

jest plugin working when added to the root

@camc314 this is marked as fixed in 0.16.11 right? Because its still broken here

Screenshots show warnings shown only if plugins is added to the root.

@Miodec, does it work okay if you add a different plugin at the root, not the test ones?

Nope

@Miodec apologies for the delay in fixing this, do you mind trying 0.18.0 and seeing if it's fixed?
