Hi folks, I feel this question probably has been ask a million times, but here I go 😂 Is there an existing integration that can read

pants.toml

and update

.vscode/settings.json

? VSCode has been gaslighting me on some minor formatting setting differences; having an way to auto-sync the two settings and use

pants.toml

as the source of truth will probably make VSCode + Pants a better experience.

Right. So what would those changes be like? Update

settings.json

to use

flake8

linter on save or something because it has been enabled in

pants.toml

as

"pants.backend.python.lint.flake8"

?

Things like, mypy args, black args, tool path would also be a nice to have. I guess these things are fairly static and copy pasting is not too bad. Nice to have tho

There isn't yet such a thing, but we would like there to be!

Yes, vscode setting is super well documented: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/settings-reference I guess I can add a subsystem called

vscode

and a goal

gen-vscode-setting

?

Yes, that should be pretty straightforward actually

There are folks how check in repo level vscode settings, like linting standard, extraPath, etc. . In those cases, I think we can either merge the settings, or just cowardly refuse to overwrite existing settings unless explicitly specify.
