VSCode / Pylance / Disable TypeChecking?

Question

I would like to disable the underlining of errors like .text in this example

But it would be ok for me when eg. driver is wrong written like that

In my defaultSettings.json the parameter for this option is set:

"python.analysis.typeCheckingMode": "off",

And in my settings.json this parameter is not at all.

So why is Pylance still underlining the .text-command? I only want that it is underlining error like wrong written driver?

Answer 1

I found the solution - There are two settings.json in VSCode - one for "User" and one for "Workspace":

I only checked the settings.json for "User" and there was no entry for the parameter "python.analysis.typeCheckingMode"

When I checked the "Workspace" settings.json I saw this entry

python.analysis.typeCheckingMode": "basic"

I changed it to "off" and now everything works again as wanted.

These are the different options for this parameter for the pylance-extension:

• off: No type checking analysis is conducted; unresolved imports/variables diagnostics are produced
• basic: Non-type checking-related rules (all rules in off) + basic type checking rules
• strict: All type checking rules at the highest severity of error (includes all rules in off and basic categories)
