pylint #69738 generated-members need dynamic member name [validation pending]
In django model instance, many member property are dynamically created base on some condition. such as many to many relationship:
If you don't specify a related_name attribute for a field in an abstract base class, the default reverse name will be the name of the child class followed by '_set', just as it normally would be if you'd declared the field directly on the child class. For example, in the above code, if the related_name attribute was omitted, the reverse name for the m2m field would be childa_set in the ChildA case and childb_set for the ChildB field. This cause pylint to report invalid errors, a solution was proposed here is to add regular expression based generated-members: [TYPECHECK] generated-members=REQUEST,acl_users,aq_parent,objects,_meta,id,[a-zA-Z]+_set with something like: # somewhere top of the file header in typecheck.py import re # and in visit_getattr() for pattern in self.config.generated_members: if re.match(pattern, node.attrname): return | |
