How do I specify a custom configuration file for Pylint (command line switch --rcfile) in Spyder IDE?
I tried editing pylint.bat and pylint-gui.bat like this:
python "%~dpn0" %* --rcfile="P:/path/to/pylintrc"
but without success. I always see in the output:
No config file found, using default configuration
Spyder will run pylint.exe, not pylint.bat, that's why what you tried doesn't work.
The easiest way is to put your pylintrc in your project folder, as pylint will automatically look there.
