Linting the Guidelines
The code presented in this repository is a lift-and-shift of code originally written by @kristapratico
Running guidelines checks in Azure/azure-sdk-for-python repository
In order to lint for the guidelines, you must make sure you are enabling the pylint-guidelines-checker in your pylint invocation. Using the rcfile at the root of the repo will ensure that the plugin is properly activated
It is recommended you run pylint at the library package level to be consistent with how the CI runs pylint.
Check that you are running pylint version >=2.14.5 and astroid version >=2.12.0.
-
Install the pylint checker from the azure-sdk development feed.
pip install --index-url="https://pkgs.dev.azure.com/azure-sdk/public/_packaging/azure-sdk-for-python/pypi/simple/" pylint-guidelines-checker
-
Run pylint at the root of the repo and it will automatically find the pylintrc:
C:\azure-sdk-for-python>pylint sdk/storage/azure-storage-blob/azure
-
Add the --rcfile command line argument with a relative path to the pylintrc from your current directory:
C:\azure-sdk-for-python\sdk\storage>pylint --rcfile="../../pylintrc" azure-storage-blob
-
Set the environment variable PYLINTRC to the absolute path of the pylintrc file:
set PYLINTRC=C:\azure-sdk-for-python\pylintrc
Run pylint:
C:\azure-sdk-for-python\sdk\storage>pylint azure-storage-blob
-
Run pylint at the package level using tox and it will find the pylintrc file:
pip install tox tox-monorepo C:\azure-sdk-for-python\sdk\storage\azure-storage-blob>tox -e lint -c ../../../eng/tox/tox.ini
-
If you use the pylint extension for VS code or Pycharm it should find the pylintrc automatically.
How to disable a pylint error
# pylint:disable=connection-string-should-not-be-constructor-param
The pylint custom checkers for SDK guidelines fall into messages range C4717 - C4738. You will know you came across a custom checker if it contains a link to the guidelines.
In the case of a false positive, use the disable command to remove the pylint error.
