pylint not load rcfile in tox

[fly50789]

Question

I do exactly same thing but cant get same result in Pure command and tox command.

I guess MESSAGES CONTROL is not loading to setting.

How do I check rcfile setting is loading correctly?

command
pylint --verbose --rcfile=tox.ini src

Using config file C:\Users\pega_user\Desktop\vs_project\work3\serverapi\tox.ini

It is not tox problem.

I run command directly in gitlab runner but I cant load setting correctly

Hi @fly50789. It seems that you need to use [pylint.main] instead of [MESSAGES CONTROL] inside an ini file for this to work. Source code.

From that code block:
The use of 'MASTER' or 'master' as configuration section for pylint
has been deprecated, as it's bad practice to not start sections titles with the
tool name. Please use 'pylint.main' instead.,

I've tried a quick test with your tox command & it works for me.

[mbyrnepr2]

There is a section in the documentation describing the various ways of passing a configuration file; so perhaps the fix here is to add a line beneath the pyproject.toml section for tox.ini.

Would you like to contribute a MR @fly50789?

[fly50789]

@mbyrnepr2 Sorry English is not my mother tongue, What is MR meaning?

[fly50789]

It run perfectly!! Thank for your help.

I know setting file can be set in different file.

But tox is a useful tool to mange different test ,so I prefer to make all tool config in single file which is tox.ini.

Ps. is any way to overwrite setting of rcfile by command like

pylint --rcfile=tox.ini <extra-command-to-overwrite> <path>

@mbyrnepr2 Sorry English is not my mother tongue, What is MR meaning?

Sorry, I should have been clearer. I wanted to check if you are interested in creating a Merge Request to fix the documentation? Otherwise someone else can pick it up.

Sure, something like this:
pylint --rcfile=tox.ini --enable=missing-class-docstring,missing-module-docstring <path>

@mbyrnepr2

I have interest to do this.

But I never maintain the procedure of merge request in github.

I only use gitlab to develope my tool.

You might need to tell me more how to do.

Which part I need to write and merge to document?

Folk the project and fix document then assign to you..etc.

First I need to know how to trace the issue.

Even you refer me, I cant receive notification like below.
