August 1-7, 2021 in Darker: Configuration improvements and issue resolutions

[akaihola]

This week, we focused on resolving configuration issues and closing long-standing tickets. We made significant progress on the VSCode-related issue (#147), where a user was experiencing difficulties with Darker's formatting behavior. Through collaborative debugging, we identified that the problem stemmed from incorrect configuration in the blackArgs setting. The issue was resolved by adjusting the argument format from "--lint pylint" to "--lint=pylint", highlighting the importance of proper command-line argument handling in different environments.

We also addressed a long-standing issue regarding the handling of untracked files (#102), which has now been closed. Additionally, we made progress on respecting Black's exclude patterns while still applying other tools like isort, Pylint, and Mypy to excluded files (#146). We're exploring options to either leverage Black's configuration parsing or implement our own solution.
