Is there a way to totally ignore all of the MyPy errors in specific project packages?

Question

Is there a way to ignore all of the errors in certain packages within my project?

Some of the code in my project is compiled Protocol Buffers code which doesn't pass a MyPy check. It all lives within a directory /myproj/generated/proto.

Here's what I have in my mypy config file:

[mypy-myproject.generated]
ignore_missing_imports = True
ignore_errors = True

What can I add to this to make it ignore all error messages generated from an analysis of anything that's inside of myproject.generated?

This is a duplicate of a question on GitHub.

Answer 1

You can use a glob.

[mypy-myproject.generated.*]
ignore_errors = True

But you have to assure that you have __init__.py in /generated

Answer 2

You can also use ignore an entire folder or file via the exclude option.

Here is an example of an ini file:

[mypy]
exclude = generated

Well, of course it's a crutch. I do not pretend that this is the most correct way.
