2018.3.0: Pylint: 'F0001:No module named "test.py"' appears in every file with a path that has a space

[garyking]

Since installing the 2018.3.0 version of this extension about an hour ago, I get 'F0001:No module named "test.py"' at the top of every module from pylint (for line 1, character 1), with test.py being replaced with the file's filename.

This happens even if the file is the only file in its dir. This also only happens with existing VS Code projects, but not new ones.

This is definitely related to this extension and pylint. Because when I copy my project to a new folder, then open it in VSC, these errors disappear. But the original project location still has these errors.

This makes it incredibly difficult to fix on my own, since I don't know where to look, with regards to VSC. It must be something to do with an internal VS Code database?

Edit: As noted here, this problem only happens with paths with spaces in them. I was able to reproduce this myself.

Yup, I just noticed the exact same issue.

I'm getting this error only from projects with spaces in their paths, either new or existing. Can anyone check if this is the case too?
(VS Code 1.22.0-insider on Sierra)

Excellent observation! This is the answer. I was able to reproduce.

I was testing in a path with no space. I added a space. Immediate error. Should be an easy fix in the extension though, but otherwise there isn't anything we can do on our end unfortunately.

We can reproduce on our end. We're trying to figure out the root cause.

Getting same issue too. The latest update is full of bugs.

I also experienced this problem.
I also went to the OUTPUT tab at the bottom of the editor found out what actually caused the error.

Assume that /Path with space/to/your/source_code.py is the path to your module source_code
I see:

************* Module "/Path with space/to/your/source_code.py"
1,0,fatal,F0001:No module named "source_code.py"

but when I run it from the command line, I see:
************* Module source_code
(Followed by lint feedbacks...)

That means the module is resolved incorrectly when there's a space in the path so VS Code has to quote it. Pylint is confused about the quotes VS Code gives it and treat the path with quotes and .py as a module, no wonder the module is not found

Strangely, even when I run the command pylint "/Path with space/to/your/source_code.py" instead of pylint source_code in the directory containing source_code.py, the module is resolved correctly

[chikaobuah]

How can I uninstall or opt out of latest update?

@chikaobuah We're in the process of fixing this. A hot fix will be release soon.
Apologies for the inconvenience.
