Pylint ignore-patterns Not Working

I'm using an rc file that has:

ignore-patterns=".*local.*"

I expect this to ignore all files with the word local in the name. So, tmplocal.py, tmp.local.py, tmp_local.py, local_tmp.py, etc.

When running Pylint (1.7.2), these files are not ignored. Any suggestions?

Solution

  • What ended up working for me was not including quotes. My current config looks something like this: ignore-patterns=one.py,.*local.*

    $ pylint --version
