Hey! * Edward Ekelund <edward.ekelund@axis.com> [2016-03-23 17:09:51 +0000]:

I would like to disable a set of warnings for modules in a specific folder. Is this possible somehow?

If not, can this feature be added?

There's an open issue for it since a while: https://github.com/PyCQA/pylint/issues/618 There was some work on it, but the person who started working on it unfortunately never submitted a pull request :(

More specifically, we have a folder in our project which contains many function/unit test modules. Some Pylint-warnings, e.g., `invalid-name` and `protected-access` are not helpful in that context, and we would like to be able to disable those checks for all modules in that directory.

Also, we would like to avoid adding #-disable boilerplate inside every single file; preferably we would like to add the folder-specific disables in the project's pylintrc-file.

Personally I use a script to find my test files (as they don't have __init__.py files because I'm using py.test). That script also adds some disables: https://github.com/The-Compiler/qutebrowser/blob/master/scripts/dev/run_pyli...
