Pylint not running as expected in VScode

Question

When I am running via shell a pylint:

$ pylint decorator.py 
No config file found, using default configuration
************* Module decorator
C:  7,         


        

Answer 1

Assuming you have configured Python's Extension correctly and you have Pylint installed,

VSCode's Python Extension will do minimal checking by default if you do not provide a Pylint configuration option.

Simply enter "python.linting.pylintUseMinimalCheckers": false, into your .vscode/settings.json to force this off.

This is how mine looks:

{
    "autoDocstring.docstringFormat": "numpy",
    "editor.minimap.enabled": false,
    "editor.selectionClipboard": false,
    "python.pythonPath": "/home/jim/anaconda3/envs/dipoleDisplay",
    "window.zoomLevel": 0,
    "terminal.integrated.rendererType": "dom",
    "python.linting.pylintUseMinimalCheckers": false,
}
