.pylintrc not used

[ai-learner-00]

Diagnostic Data

• Python version (& distribution if applicable, e.g., Anaconda): Python 3.10
• Type of virtual environment used (e.g., conda, venv, virtualenv, etc.): Dev container
• Operating system (and version): Windows
• Version of tool extension you are using: 2023.11.13481007

Behaviour

Expected Behavior

I added a .pylintrc to ignore the tests directory.

[MASTER]
ignore=tests

Actual Behavior

I still get warnings for a test file.

I tried specifying the rcfile, but it didn't work.

				"pylint.enabled": true,
				"pylint.args": [
					"--rcfile=.pylintrc"
				],

Also, I tried "pylint.enabled": false to see if settings were used, and the warnings still appeared.

Reproduction Steps:

pyproject.zip

1. Open the following code, which installs the pylint extension, in a dev container
2. Go to test_postal_codes.py to see if there are warnings.

Outcome When Attempting Debugging Steps:

Did running it from the command line work? With pylint tests, there are no warnings.

Extra Details

[karthiknadig]

@ai-learner-00 This is because we explicitly ask for linting on a file. When you run pylint on a specific file, it does not use ignore. You can use pylint.ignorePatterns to tell the extension to not run linter on such files.

you can try this manually, run pylint tests\test_postal_codes.py and it should lint it.
