Missing docstring in public module error D100

[epicallan]

I keep getting this error despite having added a module doc string. I have flake8 docstrings 0.2.5 installed

[Arcanemagus]

Have you tried flake8-pep257? One of them has an issue with stdin input, and from your issue I'm guessing it's flake8-docstrings.

[epicallan]

yes thats is what is installed, so should I downgrade or upgrade to another version??

[Arcanemagus]

Those are two different packages, which do you have installed?

[epicallan]

I have flake8 , flake8-docstrings and hacking installed via pip

[Arcanemagus]

Do you still see this if you run the following?

pip uninstall flake8-docstrings
pip install flake8-pep257

[epicallan]

yes still get the error after running the above.

Since yesterday i got this error too. I think that flake8 received an update recently, may be it comes from there.

flake8==3.0.2
flake8-docstrings==1.0.2

PS: flake8-pep257 seems obsolete.

[Arcanemagus]

Do you see the same when you do cat foo.py | flake8 -?

[nikaro]

Yes i see the same with this command. It's strange that with flake8 foo.py it outputs nothing… :-/

So it's a bug in flake8[-docstrings] ?

[Arcanemagus]

Most likely it's the same bug that just has never been fixed.

From what I understand processing stdin input follows a completely different path, and breaks somewhat easily with plugins to flake8.

[Arcanemagus]

Marking this as closed, it's an external issue that we have no control over here.

[mlalkaka]

For reference, this is the external bug logged to fix this issue in the flake8-docstrings repository: Issue #13: D100 is triggered when reading from stdin.

[jay0lu]

To fixed the warning, I installed flake8-pep257.
pip install flake8-pep257

[mlalkaka]

I tried running pip install flake8-pep257, but that didn't help. It looks like flake8-pep257 and pep257 have been renamed to flake8-docstrings and pydocstyle, respectively. So I don't think there should be a need for flake8-pep257 anymore anyway.

[Arcanemagus]

@mlalkaka flake8-docstrings is a different module from flake8-pep257, not a rename.

[mlalkaka]

Oh, sorry about that, I was incorrect. It looks like only pep257 was renamed to pydocstyle. The packages flake8-docstrings and flake8-pep257 are independent, but there haven't been updates to flake8-pep257 in a while.

[Arcanemagus]

Yea, and unfortunately both have had alternating issues with working properly, and at the moment I'm not sure which, if either, actually works.
