2.12.0
-
Upgrade astroid to 2.9.0
Closes #4982
-
Add ability to add
end_line
andend_column
to the--msg-template
option.
With the standardTextReporter
this will add the line and column number of the
end of a node to the output of Pylint. If these numbers are unknown, they are represented
by an empty string. -
Introduced primer tests and a configuration tests framework. The helper classes available in
pylint/testutil/
are still unstable and might be modified in the near future. -
Fix
install graphiz
message which isn't needed for puml output format. -
MessageTest
of the unittesttestutil
now requires theconfidence
attribute
to match the expected value. If none is provided it is set toUNDEFINED
. -
add_message
of the unittesttestutil
now actually handles thecol_offset
parameter
and allows it to be checked against actual output in a test. -
Fix a crash in the
check_elif
extensions where an undetected if in a comprehension
with an if statement within a f-string resulted in an out of range error. The checker no
longer relies on counting if statements anymore and uses known if statements locations instead.
It should not crash on badly parsed if statements anymore. -
Fix
simplify-boolean-expression
when condition can be inferred as False.Closes #5200
-
Fix exception when pyreverse parses
property function
of a class. -
The functional
testutils
now acceptend_lineno
andend_column
. Expected
output files without these will trigger aDeprecationWarning
. Expected output files
can be easily updated with thepython tests/test_functional.py --update-functional-output
command. -
The functional
testutils
now correctly check the distinction betweeenHIGH
and
UNDEFINED
confidence. Expected output files without defiendconfidence
levels will now
trigger aDeprecationWarning
. Expected output files can be easily updated with the
python tests/test_functional.py --update-functional-output
command. -
The functional test runner now supports the option
min_pyver_end_position
to control on which python
versions theend_lineno
andend_column
attributes should be checked. The default value is 3.8. -
Fix
accept-no-yields-doc
andaccept-no-return-doc
not allowing missingyield
or
return
documentation when a docstring is partially correctCloses #5223
-
Add an optional extension
consider-using-any-or-all
: Emitted when afor
loop only
produces a boolean and could be replaced byany
orall
using a generator. Also suggests
a suitable any or all statement.Closes #5008
-
Properly identify parameters with no documentation and add new message called
missing-any-param-doc
Closes #3799

now correctly flags variables which only receive a type annotations
and never get assigned a valueCloses #5140
-
undefined-variable
now correctly considers the line numbering and order of classes
used in metaclass declarationsCloses #4031
-
used-before-assignment
now correctly considers references to classes as type annotation
or default values in first-level methodsCloses #3771
-
undefined-variable
andunused-variable
now correctly trigger for assignment expressions
in functions defaultsFixes part of #3688
-
undefined-variable
now correctly triggers for assignment expressions in if ... else statements
This includes a basic form of control flow inference for if ... else statements using
constant boolean valuesCloses #3688
-
Added the
--enable-all-extensions
command line option. It will load all available extensions
which can be listed by running--list-extensions
-
Fix bug with importing namespace packages with relative imports
-
Improve and flatten
unused-wildcard-import

len-as-condition
has been renamed as
use-implicit-booleaness-not-len
in order to be consistent with
use-implicit-booleaness-not-comparison
. -
