@brettcannon That is definitely useful for Black, though of course this issue still remains for all other linters etc.
I notice the description for
black-formatter.path
in your link includes as examples both an executable path and a module name, so I suppose the wordpath
is the plan going forward to refer to either an executable or a module name in all cases, contrary to @wpyoga's suggestions in microsoft/vscode-python#4922 (comment).In your link, what does this mean:
I have not tested this. Does the extension go hunting for
black
in various specific locations in your environment, or does it use somePATH
setting in the user's environment, or do you have to specify theblack-formatter.path
setting? For the first two options, can that logic be used to hunt for linters etc generally (the main point of this GitHub issue)?Originally posted by @jeremyn in microsoft/vscode-python#4922 (comment)
