I am using the Pylint linter package in atom on Windows when ever i use tab indentation it gives me the following error:
W0311 Bad indentation Found 1 spaces, Expected 4.
even though atom is using a 'tab' (tab type is hard)
I created a .pylintrc Pylint configuration file using :
pylint --generate-rcfile > .pylintrc
and added
--disable=W0311
under the [message control] section.
Also in the settings of the atom package i entered the location of the RC config file. I restarted atom and it's still producing the error message W0311 on every line.
How can I get rid of this message?
You could always disable specific messages using this template in the first line (top line) of your code:
#pylint: disable=<error_name/number>,..,..
In your example you could use:
#pylint: disable=W0311
Pylint recognizes this format and disables this message, so when you run Pylint it should not check for this error.
