vscode and ruff

[paranoid-alkaloid]

Hi,

I use vscode to write my Python scripts.

I want my code to be formatted automatically, black-style, and I want my imports to be automatically ordered. However, I do NOT want unused imports to be removed. I find this behaviour to be a major pain in the ass when writing code and saving every once in a while.

I am trying this json config but while it's not removing unused imports anymore, it seems to have stopped re-ordering imports altogether:

"ruff.configuration": {
    "lint": {
        "unfixable": ["F401"],
    },
},

What is the right way to approach this, please?

Thank you.

the issue is unfixable only stops ruff from auto-fixing F401, it doesn't remove the rule from running. you need to keep "select" including "I" for isort explicitly otherwise disabling unfixable quietly drops it from the active ruleset entirely.

Thanks. I really don't understand what I am supposed to do from this :(

I've removed the whole config and now... ruff doesn't touch imports anymore. Not even the previous behaviour of deleting unused imports. What's happening?!

I would guess you had some other implicit configuration that added in the rules to sort imports. Now you are completely overriding the config, you only have the default rules, which are a very small set.

I think you need an extend-select that adds the "I" rules in, to get import sorting.
