parserPreset in .commitlintc.json is ignored

[gegenschall]

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create .commitlintrc.json with the following contents

{
  "extends": ["@commitlint/config-conventional"],
  "parserPreset:": {
    "parserOpts": {
      "issuePrefixes": ["PREFIX-"]
    }
  },
  "rules": {
    "references-empty": [2, "never"]
  }
}

2. Run echo "feat: some feature (PREFIX-123)" | npx commitlint and observe how an error for empty references is thrown.
3. Run npx commitlint --print-config and observe how parserPreset.parserOpts.issuePrefixes is [ '#' ].

With a commitlint.config.js this does not happen.

Current Behavior

see above.

Expected Behavior

It should correctly pick up parserPreset from the JSON configuration.

Affected packages

• cli
• core
• prompt
• config-angular
