Troubleshooting FileNotFoundError in VSCode with Pylint Extension

Encountering errors can be frustrating, especially when they hinder your development process. One such issue that has plagued many developers is the FileNotFoundError that appears when using the Pylint extension within Visual Studio Code (VSCode). Despite everything working perfectly from the command line, your IDE might throw unexpected obstacles due to misconfigurations.

In this guide, we’ll break down the problem, explore the root cause, and present a solution to help ensure you get back to coding seamlessly.

The Problem: FileNotFoundError

Recently, a user reported encountering the following error message when attempting to run Pylint in VSCode:

Despite no obvious changes in their system configuration, the error started appearing in VSCode.

Setup Details

VSCode version: 1.87.2

Python version: 3.12.0 and 3.9.5

Operating System: Windows 10

Specific Error Trace

The logs revealed that installation paths and executables were being incorrectly referenced, notably:

This indicated that the path to the Pylint module was being misconfigured, causing the error to occur.

The Solution: Fixing the Configuration

Identifying the Culprit

Upon reviewing the user’s settings.json, it was found that the following incorrect configuration was causing the issue:

Instead of setting the proper path to the Pylint module, it contained an argument erroneously. This invalid setting confused the tool on where to find the Pylint executable.

Adjusting the Settings

To resolve this, the user followed these steps:

Access User Settings: Open your settings.json file in VSCode.

Remove Incorrect Path: Locate pylint.path and remove the erroneous entry that was leading to the misconfiguration.

Confirm Pylint Path: Ensure that your settings point to the correct Pylint executable:

Testing the Configuration

After making the aforementioned adjustments:

Reload VSCode: Restart VSCode to apply the changes.

Run Pylint: Test Pylint on your Python files using the VSCode interface again.

This should resolve the FileNotFoundError by ensuring that Pylint is now correctly referenced and able to locate necessary files and executables.

Conclusion

Misconfigurations in your IDE settings can lead to frustrating errors, but with careful inspection and adjustments, you can quickly restore functionality. This troubleshooting method can help identify similar issues in the future.

If you continue to face issues after making these corrections, consider consulting official Pylint documentation or checking community forums for further troubleshooting steps.

Happy coding!
