Package context file causing problems with pylint

I have been trying to setup a tests directory using the following document as a guide.



https://docs.python-guide.org/writing/structure/



In particular, when setting up a tests directory it mentions using a context.py file containing code similar to the following:



import os
import sys
sys.path.insert(0, os.path.abspath(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), '..')))

import sample


and then importing it into a test file such as test_basic.py using something similar to:



from context import sample


This works perfectly well when I run my test script. The only problem I have is that within visual studio code, pylint highlights the context.py file red, which is annoying. The line that says 'import sample' is highlighted red and indicates that it is unable to import sample. Clearly pylint isn't seeing the parent directory being added to path before sample is imported.



Does anybody know how to fix this problem ?



Thanks



Mark

  • For anyone who is interested, you can turn off linting for a particular line of code using something like (error number obtained by hanging the mouse over the error): # pylint: disable=E0401
