Pylint not finding errors in vscode

Question

I have configured vscode to use pylint.

Workspace Settings:

"python.pythonPath": "/home/name/python-venv/machine learning/bin/python3",
"python.linting.pylintPath": "/home/name/python-venv/machine-learning/bin/pylint",

The paths link to a virtual python environment. When I run Python: Run Linting from the command prompt (ctrl+P) the output int the output -> Python window is:

##########Linting Output - pylint##########
No config file found, using default configuration

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Your code has been rated at 10.00/10 (previous run: 2.31/10, +7.69)

It does not find anything wrong with the file even if it should. When I run this command from a terminal (with or without active virtual environment) I get the following output:

No config file found, using default configuration
************* Module test
C:  1, 0: Missing module docstring (missing-docstring)
C:  2, 0: Constant name "hello" doesn't conform to UPPER_CASE naming 
style (invalid-name)
C:  3, 0: Constant name "sess" doesn't conform to UPPER_CASE naming 
style (invalid-name)

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Your code has been rated at 2.50/10 (previous run: 10.00/10, -7.50)

Can anyone tell me it behaves like this?

Answer 1

Solved this by manually generating a pylintrc using

pylint --generate-rcfile > ~/.pylintrc

Now everything works as expected
