Visual studio code suppress pep8 warnings

Question

How can I suppress pep8 warnings, in Visual studio code? What I want to do is to suppress E501 warning I don\'t want to get warnings where my code length is more than 80 chars.

Answer 1

I was fighting with this a couple of weeks ago. What I ended up doing was adding a setup.cfg file into the root folder of my project and putting the following in it:

[pep8]
ignore = E501

Answer 2

Please try double qoute " instead of single '

['--ignore=E501'] --> ["--ignore=E501"]

It worked for me. Don't forget to restart the program.

Answer 3

In case you are not using flake8Args but Pylama (for example) the configuration change on settings.json is similar as described before: "python.linting.pylamaArgs": ["--max_line_length=120"] or "python.linting.pylamaArgs": [""--ignore=E501" "]

Answer 4

What you did is correct. However you have to start the VScode to see the difference. (I would prefer vs auto update itself.)

Answer 5

If you want to change the line length, add this in your User Settings file

{ 
  "python.linting.pep8Enabled": true,
  "python.linting.pep8Args": ["--max-line-length=120" ]
}

previous code was giving me 'EOF' error, so i edited it

Answer 6

What worked for me was adding the code snippet below to my user settings.json file. This was mentioned above but without the settings.json.

"python.linting.flake8Enabled": true,
"python.linting.flake8Args": ["--ignore=E501"]
