Invoke Plugin for Pylint

This is a plugin for pylint which disables certain checks when using invoke.

Installation

pip install invoke-plugin-for-pylint, that's it.

Usage

Add invoke_plugin_for_pylint to the list of pylint plugins.

Disabled check

• unused-argument: Each invoke task needs a context argument even if not needed. Therefore this plugin will find all tasks and suppress all unused-argument errors when related to the context argument

Configuration

If custom decorators for invoke tasks are used which wrap invoke.task the additional-invoke-task-decorators option by checker invoke-plugin-for-pylint can be used. It's a csv list of names which indicate an invoke task.

Please note, that the names must be full qualified and reflect the name of the final function. For example, a decorator factory called "foo" in package "bar" which returns a function called "_inner", will result in the name "bar.foo._inner".

Example for the pyproject.toml:

[tool.pylint.invoke-plugin-for-pylint]
additional-invoke-task-decorators = [
    "my_package.foo.make_task._inner",
    "my_package.foo.make_other_task",
]

Development

This project uses uv. To install uv, and setup a venv for development, use:

python3.14 -m venv venv && \
    source venv/bin/activate && \
    pip install uv && uv sync --all-groups && \
    deactivate  && \
    rm -rf venv/

This will create a temporary venv, install uv to bootstrap the project .venv, and remove the temporary venv again. Then use source .venv/bin/activate to activate your venv.
