How to use a linter (e.g. pylint) in Helix?

[MarkuBu]

I follow the exercism track for Python and I noticed a hint from pylint on the exercism page. That wasn't shown in Helix. But Python LSP is running and shows errors, even formatting errors.

Is it possible to use a linter in Helix, manually or automatically?

If you're using pylsp, you just need to install pylint pip install "python-lsp-server[pylint]" and then edit your languages.toml something like this:

[[language]]
name = "python"
config = { pylsp.plugins.pylint.enabled = true } 

You can check python-lsp-server/CONFIGURATION.md for more detail about configuration

It seems that pylint is already running, but not configured for this type of error. But thanks for your help.

Hi @MarkuBu, do you know how can I restart pylint? The only thing that works is to :wq and open file again.

Sorry, I currently don't use Helix and Python

Bit late here, but you can do :lsp-restart.
