Config files don't seem to be being read in. I've tried defining it (config.cfg) using --config, putting it in ., putting it in everything up from ., and putting it in ~/.config/flake8. No matter what I try flake8 doesn't seem to be picking them up. Using --ignore works fine.
Here's my config file: [flake8] max-line-length = 200 # E251 unexpected spaces around keyword / parameter equals # E711 comparison to None should be if cond is not None # E501 line too long (203 > 200 characters) # E303 too many blank lines (2) # E712 comparison to True should be 'if cond is not True:' or 'if not cond:' # E302 expected 2 blank lines, found 1 # E226 missing whitespace around arithmetic operator # W291 trailing whitespace # W293 blank line contains whitespace # W391 blank line at end of file # E111 indentation is not a multiple of four # E702 multiple statements on one line (semicolon) ignore = E251,E711,E501,E303,E712,E302,E226,W291,W293,W391,E111,E702,E265
Help please?
Hey Jason,
pep8 handles discovery and parsing of config files for flake8. Looking at what pep8 tries to find, your options are ~/.config/pep8, ./tox.ini, and ./setup.cfg. As for why using --config doesn't work, I haven't tried that but that would also be a bug found in pep8. I'll see if I can reproduce that though.

So I just did the following: $ mktmpenv $ pip install flake8 flake8-docstrings $ flake8 --version 2.2.5 (pep8: 1.5.7, pyflakes: 0.8.1, pep257: 0.2.1, mccabe: 0.3) CPython 2.7.9 on Darwin $ cd ~/sandbox/github3.py I know my project has a lot of docstring (pep257) violations and that one of the common ones is D100 so I wrote [flake8] ignore = D100 In test.cfg and did $ flake8 | wc -l 881 $ flake8 --config test.cfg | wc -l 868 So I think that --config is working just fine. If I update test.cfg to [flake8] ignore = D100,D101,D102 $ flake8 --config test.cfg | wc -l 422 My final iteration of test.cfg is [flake8] max-line-length = 100 # Comment ignore = D100,D101,D102 And that also works just fine. Can you share the exact commands you're running? Perhaps this is some weird side-effect of flake8-debugger.
