Flake8 reports wrong severity level for E999

[jhossbach]

Hey,
If I understand the error codes in the flake8 documentation correctly, there is only one error with code E999 for general syntax errors. Is it possible to change the LSP severity level for this error to 1 instead of 2 as this is an actual error in the code?

Hey @jhossbach, thanks for reporting. I don't know if that's possible but the configuration options for the server are here. And the way to configure it depends on your editor or IDE.

The problem is the hardcoded lsp.DiagnosticSeverity.Warning in the internal flake8 plugin:

python-lsp-server/pylsp/plugins/flake8_lint.py

Line 192 in a9d503c

'severity': lsp.DiagnosticSeverity.Warning,

We could add a check if the msg starts with an E and set the severity level to lsp.DiagnosticSeverity.Error.
I can open a pull request if you want.

Ok, I see, sorry for the misunderstanding. We'll be glad if you can open a pull request for this.
