We are facing the same issue on https://github.com/twentyhq/twenty

We are going to move the .vale.ini to the root folder temporarily but it would be great to fix it :)

Same here:

{
  "Code": "E100",
  "Text": "E100 [vocab] Runtime error\n\n'config/vocabularies/WordUsageVocab' directory does not exist\n\nExecution stopped with code 1."
}

Hardcoded to version 2.3.0 as a temporary workaround.

I did some testing this morning hoping that a symlink would work as a stop-gap but it appears that Vale does not see symlinks.

This is fixed now. I'll put out a new release tomorrow.

@kKronstainBrown: Your issue is unrelated to VALE_CONFIG_PATH; v3.0 expects vocabularies to be in $StylesPath/config/vocabularies as mentioned in the Breaking Changes section of the release notes.
