I have the following code section that triggers Pylint error "E1120: No value for argument if".
framework/packages/create_network.py:79:21: E1120: No value for argument 'bridge1' in function call (no-value-for-parameter)
Is there a flag for Pylint that can bypass this check for this specific case? I am looking for a solution that doesn't require changes in the code itself and is a parameter passed to Pylint.
In my answer I will put the flag I am familiar with that is an annotation in the code.
Description of the case
This happens when passing an unpacked list as values to parameters defined by name and not by *args.
The script passes a list
bridges = create_bridge(interface1, interface2) # Returns an array of 4 values
routers = get_routers(*bridges) # Unpacks the array and passes values to 4 parameters
And the function signature is
def get_routers(bridge1, bridge2, bridge3, bridge4):
This can be solved by disabling the specific check for E1120 for the specific line that causes the issue.
In this case the code will now have a pylint disable comment above the
I dislike this solution because it forces me to change the itself. I'd prefer to disable this check when running Pylint as an optional flag just for unpacking list to parameters.
