| What's New in Pylint 2.14.5? |
| ---------------------------- |
| Release date: TBA |
| |
| |
| |
| What's New in Pylint 2.14.4? |
| ---------------------------- |
| Release date: 2022-06-29 |
| |
| * The ``differing-param-doc`` check was triggered by positional only arguments. |
| |
| Closes #6950 |
| |
| * Fixed an issue where scanning `.` directory recursively with ``--ignore-path=^path/to/dir`` is not |
| ignoring the `path/to/dir` directory. |
| |
| Closes #6964 |
| |
| * Fixed regression that didn't allow quoted ``init-hooks`` in option files. |
| |
| Closes #7006 |
| |
| * Fixed a false positive for ``modified-iterating-dict`` when updating an existing key. |
| |
| Closes #6179 |
| |
| * Fixed an issue where many-core Windows machines (>~60 logical processors) would hang when |
| using the default jobs count. |
| |
| Closes #6965 |
| |
| * Fixed an issue with the recognition of ``setup.cfg`` files. |
| Only ``.cfg`` files that are exactly named ``setup.cfg`` require section names that |
| start with ``pylint.``. |
| |
| Closes #3630 |
| |
| * Don't report ``import-private-name`` for relative imports. |
| |
| Closes #7078 |
| |
| |
| What's New in Pylint 2.14.3? |
| ---------------------------- |
| Release date: 2022-06-18 |
| |
| * Fixed two false positives for ``bad-super-call`` for calls that refer to a non-direct parent. |
| |
| Closes #4922, Closes #2903 |
| |
| * Fixed a false positive for ``useless-super-delegation`` for subclasses that specify the number of |
| of parameters against a parent that uses a variadic argument. |
| |
| Closes #2270 |
| |
| * Allow suppressing ``undefined-loop-variable`` and ``undefined-variable`` without raising ``useless-suppression``. |
| |
| * Fixed false positive for ``undefined-variable`` for ``__class__`` in inner methods. |
| |
| Closes #4032 |
| |
| |
| What's New in Pylint 2.14.2? |
| ---------------------------- |
| Release date: 2022-06-15 |
| |
| |
| * Fixed a false positive for ``unused-variable`` when a function returns an |
| ``argparse.Namespace`` object. |
| |
| Closes #6895 |
| |
| * Avoided raising an identical ``undefined-loop-variable`` message twice on the same line. |
| |
| * Don't crash if ``lint.run._query_cpu()`` is run within a Kubernetes Pod, that has only |
| a fraction of a cpu core assigned. Just go with one process then. |
| |
| Closes #6902 |
| |
| * Fixed a false positive in ``consider-using-f-string`` if the left side of a ``%`` is not a string. |
| |
| Closes #6689 |
| |
| * Fixed a false positive in ``unnecessary-list-index-lookup`` and ``unnecessary-dict-index-lookup`` |
| when the subscript is updated in the body of a nested loop. |
| |
| Closes #6818 |
| |
| * Fixed an issue with multi-line ``init-hook`` options which did not record the line endings. |
| |
| Closes #6888 |
| |
| * Fixed a false positive for ``used-before-assignment`` when a try block returns |
| but an except handler defines a name via type annotation. |
| |
| * ``--errors-only`` no longer enables previously disabled messages. It was acting as |
| "emit *all* and only error messages" without being clearly documented that way. |
| |
| Closes #6811 |
| |
| |
| |
| What's New in Pylint 2.14.1? |
| ---------------------------- |
| Release date: 2022-06-06 |
| |
| * Avoid reporting ``unnecessary-dict-index-lookup`` or ``unnecessary-list-index-lookup`` |
| when the index lookup is part of a destructuring assignment. |
| |
| Closes #6788 |
| |
| * Fixed parsing of unrelated options in ``tox.ini``. |
| |
| Closes #6800 |
| |
| * Fixed a crash when linting ``__new__()`` methods that return a call expression. |
| |
| Closes #6805 |
| |
| * Don't crash if we can't find the user's home directory. |
| |
| Closes #6802 |
| |
| * Fixed false positives for ``unused-import`` when aliasing ``typing`` e.g. as ``t`` |
| and guarding imports under ``t.TYPE_CHECKING``. |
| |
| Closes #3846 |
| |
| * Fixed a false positive regression in 2.13 for ``used-before-assignment`` where it is safe to rely |
| on a name defined only in an ``except`` block because the ``else`` block returned. |
| |
| Closes #6790 |
| |
| * Fixed the use of abbreviations for some special options on the command line. |
| |
| Closes #6810 |
| |
| * Fix a crash in the optional ``pylint.extensions.private_import`` extension. |
| |
| Closes #6624 |
| |
| * ``bad-option-value`` (E0012) is now a warning ``unknown-option-value`` (W0012). Deleted messages that do not exist |
| anymore in pylint now raise ``useless-option-value`` (R0022) instead of ``bad-option-value``. This allows to |
| distinguish between genuine typos and configuration that could be cleaned up. Existing message disables for |
| ``bad-option-value`` will still work on both new messages. |
| |
| Refs #6794 |
| |
| |
| What's New in Pylint 2.14.0? |
| ---------------------------- |
| Release date: 2022-06-01 |
| |
| |
| * The refactoring checker now also raises 'consider-using-generator' messages for |
| ``max()``, ``min()`` and ``sum()``. |
| |
| Refs #6595 |
| |
| * We have improved our recognition of inline disable and enable comments. It is |
| now possible to disable ``bad-option-value`` inline (as long as you disable it before |
| the bad option value is raised, i.e. ``disable=bad-option-value,bad-message`` not ``disable=bad-message,bad-option-value`` ) as well as certain other previously unsupported messages. |
| |
| Closes #3312 |
| |
| * Fixed a crash in the ``unused-private-member`` checker involving chained private attributes. |
| |
| Closes #6709 |
| |
| * Added new checker ``comparison-of-constants``. |
| |
| Closes #6076 |
| |
| * ``pylint.pyreverse.ASTWalker`` has been removed, as it was only used internally by a single child class. |
| |
| Refs #6712 |
| |
| * ``pyreverse``: Resolving and displaying implemented interfaces that are defined by the ``__implements__`` |
| attribute has been deprecated and will be removed in 3.0. |
| |
| Refs #6713 |
| |
| * Fix syntax for return type annotations in MermaidJS diagrams produced with ``pyreverse``. |
| |
| Closes #6467 |
| |
| * Fix type annotations of class and instance attributes using the alternative union syntax in ``pyreverse`` diagrams. |
| |
| * Fix ``unexpected-special-method-signature`` false positive for ``__init_subclass__`` methods with one or more arguments. |
| |
| Closes #6644 |
| |
| * Started ignoring underscore as a local variable for ``too-many-locals``. |
| |
| Closes #6488 |
| |
| * Improved wording of the message of ``deprecated-module`` |
| |
| Closes #6169 |
| |
| * ``Pylint`` now requires Python 3.7.2 or newer to run. |
| |
| Closes #4301 |
| |
| * ``BaseChecker`` classes now require the ``linter`` argument to be passed. |
| |
| * Fix a failure to respect inline disables for ``fixme`` occurring on the last line |
| of a module when pylint is launched with ``--enable=fixme``. |
| |
| * Update ``invalid-slots-object`` message to show bad object rather than its inferred value. |
| |
| Closes #6101 |
| |
| * The main checker name is now ``main`` instead of ``master``. The configuration does not need to be updated as sections' name are optional. |
| |
| Closes #5467 |
| |
| * Don't report ``useless-super-delegation`` for the ``__hash__`` method in classes that also override the ``__eq__`` method. |
| |
| Closes #3934 |
| |
| * Added new checker ``typevar-name-mismatch``: TypeVar must be assigned to a variable with the same name as its name argument. |
| |
| Closes #5224 |
| |
| * Pylint can now be installed with an extra-require called ``spelling`` (``pip install pylint[spelling]``). |
| This will add ``pyenchant`` to pylint's dependencies. You will still need to install the |
| requirements for ``pyenchant`` (the ``enchant`` library and any dictionaries) yourself. You will also |
| need to set the ``spelling-dict`` option. |
| |
| Refs #6462 |
| |
| * Removed the ``assign-to-new-keyword`` message as there are no new keywords in the supported Python |
| versions any longer. |
| |
| Closes #4683 |
| |
| * Fixed a crash in the ``not-an-iterable`` checker involving multiple starred expressions |
| inside a call. |
| |
| Closes #6372 |
| |
| * Fixed a crash in the ``docparams`` extension involving raising the result of a function. |
| |
| * Fixed failure to enable ``deprecated-module`` after a ``disable=all`` |
| by making ``ImportsChecker`` solely responsible for emitting ``deprecated-module`` instead |
| of sharing responsibility with ``StdlibChecker``. (This could have led to double messages.) |
| |
| * The ``no-init`` (W0232) warning has been removed. It's ok to not have an ``__init__`` in a class. |
| |
| Closes #2409 |
| |
| * The ``config`` attribute of ``BaseChecker`` has been deprecated. You can use ``checker.linter.config`` |
| to access the global configuration object instead of a checker-specific object. |
| |
| Refs #5392 |
| |
| * The ``level`` attribute of ``BaseChecker`` has been deprecated: everything is now |
| displayed in ``--help``, all the time. |
| |
| Refs #5392 |
| |
| * The ``options_providers`` attribute of ``ArgumentsManager`` has been deprecated. |
| |
| Refs #5392 |
| |
| * The ``option_groups`` attribute of ``PyLinter`` has been deprecated. |
| |
| Refs #5392 |
| |
| * All ``Interface`` classes in ``pylint.interfaces`` have been deprecated. You can subclass |
| the respective normal classes to get the same behaviour. The ``__implements__`` functionality |
| was based on a rejected PEP from 2001: |
| https://peps.python.org/pep-0245/ |
| |
| Closes #2287 |
| |
| * The ``set_option`` method of ``BaseChecker`` has been deprecated. You can use ``checker.linter.set_option`` |
| to set an option on the global configuration object instead of a checker-specific object. |
| |
| Refs #5392 |
| |
| * ``implicit-str-concat`` will now be raised on calls like ``open("myfile.txt" "a+b")`` too. |
| |
| Closes #6441 |
| |
| * The ``config`` attribute of ``PyLinter`` is now of the ``argparse.Namespace`` type instead of |
| ``optparse.Values``. |
| |
| Refs #5392 |
| |
| * ``MapReduceMixin`` has been deprecated. ``BaseChecker`` now implements ``get_map_data`` and |
| ``reduce_map_data``. If a checker actually needs to reduce data it should define ``get_map_data`` |
| as returning something different than ``None`` and let its ``reduce_map_data`` handle a list |
| of the types returned by ``get_map_data``. |
| An example can be seen by looking at ``pylint/checkers/similar.py``. |
| |
| * ``UnsupportedAction`` has been deprecated. |
| |
| Refs #5392 |
| |
| * ``OptionsManagerMixIn`` has been deprecated. |
| |
| Refs #5392 |
| |
| * ``OptionParser`` has been deprecated. |
| |
| Refs #5392 |
| |
| * ``Option`` has been deprecated. |
| |
| Refs #5392 |
| |
| * ``OptionsProviderMixIn`` has been deprecated. |
| |
| Refs #5392 |
| |
| * ``ConfigurationMixIn`` has been deprecated. |
| |
| Refs #5392 |
| |
| * ``get_global_config`` has been deprecated. You can now access all global options from |
| ``checker.linter.config``. |
| |
| Refs #5392 |
| |
| * ``OptionsManagerMixIn`` has been replaced with ``ArgumentsManager``. ``ArgumentsManager`` is considered |
| private API and most methods that were public on ``OptionsManagerMixIn`` have now been deprecated and will |
| be removed in a future release. |
| |
| Refs #5392 |
| |
| * ``OptionsProviderMixIn`` has been replaced with ``ArgumentsProvider``. ``ArgumentsProvider`` is considered |
| private API and most methods that were public on ``OptionsProviderMixIn`` have now been deprecated and will |
| be removed in a future release. |
| |
| Refs #5392 |
| |
| * ``interfaces.implements`` has been deprecated and will be removed in 3.0. Please use standard inheritance |
| patterns instead of ``__implements__``. |
| |
| Refs #2287 |
| |
| * ``invalid-enum-extension``: Used when a class tries to extend an inherited Enum class. |
| |
| Closes #5501 |
| |
| * Added the ``unrecognized-option`` message. Raised if we encounter any unrecognized options. |
| |
| Closes #5259 |
| |
| * Added new checker ``typevar-double-variance``: The "covariant" and "contravariant" keyword arguments |
| cannot both be set to "True" in a TypeVar. |
| |
| Closes #5895 |
| |
| * Re-enable checker ``bad-docstring-quotes`` for Python <= 3.7. |

| |
| * Removed the broken ``generate-man`` option. |
| |

| Closes #1887 |
| |
| * Fix false negative for ``bad-string-format-type`` if the value to be formatted is passed in |
| as a variable holding a constant. |
| |
| * Add new check ``unnecessary-dunder-call`` for unnecessary dunder method calls. |
| |
| Closes #5936 |
| Closes #6074 |
| |
| * The ``cache-max-size-none`` checker has been renamed to ``method-cache-max-size-none``. |
| |
| Closes #5670 |
| |
| * The ``method-cache-max-size-none`` checker will now also check ``functools.cache``. |
| |
| Closes #5670 |
| |
| * ``unnecessary-lambda-assignment``: Lambda expression assigned to a variable. |
| Define a function using the "def" keyword instead. |
| ``unnecessary-direct-lambda-call``: Lambda expression called directly. |
| Execute the expression inline instead. |
| |
| Closes #5976 |
| |
| * ``potential-index-error``: Emitted when the index of a list or tuple exceeds its length. |
| This checker is currently quite conservative to avoid false positives. We welcome |
| suggestions for improvements. |
| |
| Closes #578 |
| |
| * Added optional extension ``redefined-loop-name`` to emit messages when a loop variable |
| is redefined in the loop body. |
| |
| Closes #5072 |
| |
| * Changed message type from ``redefined-outer-name`` to ``redefined-loop-name`` |
| (optional extension) for redefinitions of outer loop variables by inner loops. |
| |
| Closes #5608 |
| |
| * The ``ignore-mixin-members`` option has been deprecated. You should now use the new |
| ``ignored-checks-for-mixins`` option. |

| |
| Closes #4008 |
| |
| * Added the ``generate-toml-config`` option. |
| |
| Refs #5462 |
| |
| * Added new checker ``unnecessary-list-index-lookup`` for indexing into a list while |
| iterating over ``enumerate()``. |
| |
| Closes #4525 |
| |

| |
| Closes #5219 |
| |
| * Fixed false positive ``no-member`` for Enums with self-defined members. |
| |
| Closes #5138 |
| |
| * Fix false negative for ``no-member`` when attempting to assign an instance |
| attribute to itself without any prior assignment. |
| |
| Closes #1555 |
| |
| * The concept of checker priority has been removed. |
| |
| * Add a new command line option ``--minimal-messages-config`` for ``pytest``, which disables all |
| irrelevant messages when running the functional tests. |
| |
| * ``duplicate-argument-name`` now only raises once for each set of duplicated arguments. |
| |
| * Fix bug where specifically enabling just ``await-outside-async`` was not possible. |
| |
| * The ``set_config_directly`` decorator has been removed. |
| |
| * Added new message called ``duplicate-value`` which identifies duplicate values inside sets. |
| |
| Closes #5880 |
| |
| * Pylint now expands the user path (i.e. ``~`` to ``home/yusef/``) and expands environment variables (i.e. ``home/$USER/$project`` |
| to ``home/yusef/pylint`` for ``USER=yusef`` and ``project=pylint``) for pyreverse's ``output-directory``, |
| ``import-graph``, ``ext-import-graph``, ``int-import-graph`` options, and the spell checker's ``spelling-private-dict-file`` |
| option. |
| |
| Refs #6493 |
| |
| * Created ``NoSelfUseChecker`` extension and moved the ``no-self-use`` check. |
| You now need to explicitly enable this check using |
| ``load-plugins=pylint.extensions.no_self_use``. |
| |
| Closes #5502 |
| |
| * Fix saving of persistent data files in environments where the user's cache |
| directory and the linted file are on a different drive. |
| |
| Closes #6394 |
| |
| * Don't emit ``unsubscriptable-object`` for string annotations. |

| |
| * Fix pyreverse crash ``RuntimeError: dictionary changed size during iteration`` |
| |
| Refs #6612 |

| |
| Closes #6597 |
| |
| * ``is_class_subscriptable_pep585_with_postponed_evaluation_enabled`` has been deprecated. |
| Use ``is_postponed_evaluation_enabled(node) and is_node_in_type_annotation_context(node)`` |
| instead. |

| |
| * Update ranges for ``using-constant-test`` and ``missing-parentheses-for-call-in-test`` |
| error messages. |
| |
| * Don't emit ``no-member`` inside type annotations with |
| ``from __future__ import annotations``. |
| |
| Closes #6594 |
