Can't ignore line-length despite .codeclimate.yaml file

Question

I'm using Python Black to automatically reduce line length to 88 but the pep8 linter enforces a 79 character limit. I want to turn this off

My .codeclimate.yaml file starts with:

engines:
  pep8:
    enabled: true
    checks:
      E501: # Line length checks
        enabled: false

but this doesn't seem to be respected.

https://docs.codeclimate.com/docs/advanced-configuration states that

As an alternative to the configurations available in your repository's Settings page, you can choose to commit a .codeclimate.yml or .codeclimate.json configuration file.

The filename is wrong: it should end .yml not .yaml.
