Question

Install pylint-django using pip as follows

pip install pylint-django

Then in Visual Studio Code goto: User Settings (Ctrl + , or File > Preferences > Settings if available ) Put in the following (please note the curly braces which are required for custom user settings in VSC):

{"python.linting.pylintArgs": [
     "--load-plugins=pylint_django"
],}

@tieuminh2510's answer is perfect. But in newer versions of VSC you will not find the option to edit or paste that command in User Settings.

For newer versions, add the code in the following steps:

1. Press ctrl shift p to open the the Command Palette.
2. Now in Command Palette type Preferences: Configure Language Specific Settings.
3. Select Python.
4. Add these lines inside the first curly braces:

    "python.linting.pylintArgs": [
            "--load-plugins=pylint_django",
        ]

Make sure that pylint-django is also installed.

Install Django pylint:

pip install pylint-django

ctrl+shift+p > Preferences: Configure Language Specific Settings > Python

The settings.json available for python language should look like the below:

{
    "python.linting.pylintArgs": [
        "--load-plugins=pylint_django"
    ],

    "[python]": {

    }
}

I've tried all possible solutions offered but unluckly my vscode settings won't changed its linter path. So, I tride to explore vscode settings in settings > User Settings > python. Find Linting: Pylint Path and change it to "pylint_django". Don't forget to change the linter to "pylint_django" at settings > User Settings > python configuration from "pyLint" to "pylint_django".

Heres the answer. Gotten from my reddit post... https://www.reddit.com/r/django/comments/6nq0bq/class_question_has_no_objects_member/

That's not an error, it's just a warning from VSC. Django adds that property dynamically to all model classes (it uses a lot of magic under the hood), so the IDE doesn't know about it by looking at the class declaration, so it warns you about a possible error (it's not). objects is in fact a Manager instance that helps with querying the DB. If you really want to get rid of that warning you could go to all your models and add objects = models.Manager() Now, VSC will see the objects declared and will not complain about it again.

UPDATE FOR VS CODE 1.40.0

After doing:

$ pip install pylint-django

Follow this link: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/linting#_default-pylint-rules

Notice that the way to make pylint have into account pylint-django is by specifying:

"python.linting.pylintArgs": ["--load-plugins", "pylint_django"]

in the settings.json of VS Code.

But after that, you will notice a lot of new linting errors. Then, read what it said here:

These arguments are passed whenever the python.linting.pylintUseMinimalCheckers is set to true (the default). If you specify a value in pylintArgs or use a Pylint configuration file (see the next section), then pylintUseMinimalCheckers is implicitly set to false.

What I have done is creating a .pylintrc file as described in the link, and then, configured the following parameters inside the file (leaving the rest of the file untouched):

load-plugins=pylint_django

disable=all

enable=F,E,unreachable,duplicate-key,unnecessary-semicolon,global-variable-not-assigned,unused-variable,binary-op-exception,bad-format-string,anomalous-backslash-in-string,bad-open-mode

Now pylint works as expected.
