Rules overrides are not recognised

[Andy-Dihong-Luo]

I use Pylance in the "basic" diagnostic mode and want to enable the strictListInference rule. I have the code below in my settings.

"python.analysis.typeCheckingMode": "basic",
"python.analysis.diagnosticSeverityOverrides": {
    "strictListInference": true
}

However, when I type [0, 'a'] e.g., Pylance still hints the list to be List[Unknown]. Expected to List[int | str]. Did I make something wrong?

Can you provide us some logs as described in the troubleshooting guide?

by the way, you can't set strictListInference in setting.json. you need to use either pyrightconfig.json or pyproject.toml to set it. see https://github.com/microsoft/pyright/blob/main/docs/configuration.md for more detail.

I just set json at the root of workspace folder and can see it works as expected.

{
    "strictListInference": true
}
