Disabling Pylance Linting, while keeping Pyright Type Checking.

[farzbood]

Hi,
I'm using Ruff as my Python Linter, so don't need Pylance Linting functionality, but want to keep using PyRight as static Type-Checking tool.

I've tried many settings/configurations to achieve that but no success yet!
Why are these Language Server/Linter and Type Checker so tight coupled anyway?!
Is there a way to do so or should just use another tool e.g: mypy instead?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Linting is kind of subjective, but if you set 'typeCheckingMode' to 'off', that should eliminate all of the errors that Pylance shows besides syntax errors. But intellisense and everything else would still work.

The python.analysis.ignore setting can also achieve a similar result. It ignores errors for everything that matches the ignore glob.

I'm not sure have you got my point or even try your answer either, or what?

Bypassing Linting (error, warnings, etc.) while keeping Type-Checking (Type annotation/hint) in place and the suggestion is setting 'typeCheckingMode' to 'off' ?! really? (it's the other way and the default)

python.analysis.ignore is about Paths to analyze, not the way of treating the results, setting it to '*' (which is the only way to bypass Linting) supress everything (including Type-Checking)!

My guess is you at Pylance, think of Code Analysis in Python(a dynamic typed scripting language) as of a strong typed language that is not right.
What is Pylance anyway? Pylint + PyRight + ... that each of which belong to different use-cases and need to be manageable separately. remember (SoC).

Pylint is not involved in Pylance. Pylance solely uses Pyright to generate and check types. There's a bunch of settings that let you fine tune what errors are generated. They're documented here:

https://microsoft.github.io/pyright/#/configuration?id=type-check-diagnostics-settings

For pylance there's no such thing as 'linting' rules vs 'typechecking' rules, so I thought you wanted to turn them all off and just have Ruff generate errors.

Turning typeCheckingMode to off has no impact on hover/completions/inlay hints, they work the same no matter what this setting is.
