fix: bump pylint version #31084

UsamaSadiq · 2022-10-04T07:03:53Z

Description

Remove the pylint constraint and bumped to the latest version.
Updated the pylintrc_tweaks and pylintrc to include new pylint warnings.
Fixed quality failures for new pylint version.

Major Change

Dropped the pylint-django-settings plugin in pylintrc and instead provided settings path directly in the pylint shards in CI.
Latest changes in the pylint's internal parser and linter broke the custom script which will be fixed later on.

Hi @nedbat
We'd previously added custom pylint-django-settings plugin to provide settings path when running pylint from local.
With the latest pylint parser changes, the script started failing so I've excluded the plug-in for now to remove the blocker for the latest pylint version.
For now, when running pylint from local, settings path would be needed to passed manually.
Should we remove the script altogether and add instructions on how to run pylint from local? Meanwhile, after merging this PR, arbi-bom will try to fix the failure in the plugin.

Two of the warning suppressions should be removed, and the code fixed instead.

@UsamaSadiq The pylint-django-settings.py plugin seems useful, so let's not remove it. If you will be fixing the plugin soon, then maybe an announcement in the #dev channel is enough? I will guess that most devs don't try to run pylint locally anyway.

I was actually fixing this in another repo edx/portal-designer#195 and determined that we don't put the django settings check in from the cookie cutter these days so I took it out - if we think it's good it probably should also be in the cookie cutter

bradenmacdonald · 2022-10-12T20:57:06Z

Re your issues with the Django settings path, I had what may be a similar issue in openedx-unsupported/blockstore#208 and I fixed it with this:

https://github.com/openedx/blockstore/blob/c2a782b5ce7e6b3e866f537521282a545e6d597e/pylintrc_tweaks#L3-L5

Not sure if that'll be useful here but just letting you know in case it is.

Changing the __init__() call with Class declaration and assigning it to self as self=CorrectMap() causes self-cls-assignment warning to be generated.
Couldn't figure out what should be the way to go about this scenario.

+	unnecessary-lambda-assignment,


Fixed some of the lambda assignment warnings. There are still more than ~90 warnings remaining. Fixing all the warnings in the same PR will make the review a lot more difficult so disabling the warning for now so it can be enabled and fixed in a later PR.
The warnings report shows following no of warnings after enabling it:

lms-2: 27

openedx-1: 6

common: 6

cms: 11

xmodule: 46

Created a follow up issue #31199 for this task.

Why are we manually editing the pylintrc file and not changing the tweeks file...?

The updated pylintrc file has been generated by the updated pylintrc_tweaks file. You can see the detailed changes in the pylintrc_tweaks file the changes section.

fix: drop pylint_django_settings plugin

Refactoring self.__getattr__('render') to getattr(self, 'render') generates C7630: literal-used-as-attribute warning and using self.render instead causes the tests to go into infinite recursion.

Rest of the PR looks good except the above question about pylintrc
