Disable auto wrap long line in Visual Studio Code

Question

I use Visual Studio Code to write Python code with Pylint.

When I press Ctrl + S (save), the editor wraps a long line into multiple short lines. How

Answer 1

Autopep8 requires --aggressive in order to recommend non-whitespace changes:

"python.linting.pylintArgs": ["--max-line-length", "120", "--aggressive"]

This will wrap the long lines for you.

Answer 2

Check your Python formatting provider.

"python.formatting.provider": "autopep8"

I guess in your case it is not Pylint which keeps wrapping the long lines, but autopep8. Try setting --max-line-length for autopep8 instead.

"python.formatting.autopep8Args": [
    "--max-line-length=200"
]

Answer 3

When using custom arguments, each top-level element of an argument string that's separated by space on the command line must be a separate item in the arguments list. For example:

"python.formatting.autopep8Args": ["--max-line-length", "120", "--experimental"], "python.formatting.yapfArgs": ["--style", "{based_on_style: chromium, indent_width: 20}"], "python.formatting.blackArgs": ["--line-length", "100"]

For proper formatting of these Python settings you can check Formatter-specific settings:
