Syntastic and flake8 in vim not ignoring errors provided in flake8 config file.
I am using flake8 for python code linting with Syntastic in vim. I have a flake8 config file per flake8 documentation absolute_path_to_home/.config/flake8 which ignores error E251. Now, when I run flake8 from command line by typing
flake8 --config=absolute_path_to_home/.config/flake8 my_python_code_that_is_being_checked.py
then flake8 ignores the error E251. However, when I run flake8 inside vim using <F7> the error window inside vim shows E251 despite it being ignored in the flake8 config file.
To make sure that Syntastic is calling the flake8 with right arguments I added the following to my .vimrc
let g:syntastic_python_checkers = ['flake8']
let g:syntastic_python_flake8_args='--config=absolute_path_to_home/.config/flake8'
let g:syntastic_debug = 1
I checked the Syntastic call inside vim using :messages and get the following info
syntastic: 4.483755: CacheErrors: Invoking checker: python/flake8
syntastic: 4.484046: SyntasticMake: called with options: {'errorformat': '%E%f:%l: could not compile,%-Z%p^,%A%f:%l:%c: %m,%A%f:%l: %m,%-G%.%#',
'makeprg':'flake8 --config=absolute_path_to_home/.config/flake8 my_python_code_that_is_being_checked.py', 'env': {'TERM': 'dumb'}}
syntastic: 4.615727: system: command run in 0.131497s
syntastic: 4.617432: getLocList: checker python/flake8 returned 1
syntastic: 4.618452: getLocList: checker python/flake8 run in 0.134634s
So if the message above is to be believed then Syntastic is indeed calling flake8 with the right config file so I am not sure why E251 is still being displayed. For good measures below is what my absolute_path_to_home/.config/flake8 file
[flake8]
ignore = E251
Is this a known bug? What am I doing wrong? Will appreciate any help. Thank you.
