PyCodeStyle does not remember setting (off)

[johnsturgeon]

Every time I restart Nova, PyCodeStyle shows me errors. To fix it, I have to go into the Python-Nova settings and toggle it 'on' and 'off' again.

I agree, it's very disturbing. You can also change a setting of PyCodeStyle so it does apply.

Hmm, i'll take a look at this, i've been really busy these past few weeks and i will come back to fixing bugs soon

I run into this issue daily as well.

It seems like this may be related to the fact that settings are not getting loaded on initial launch.

Python-Nova.novaextension/Scripts/main.js

Line 331 in edce8a6

client.sendNotification("workspace/didChangeConfiguration", getSettings());

Changing any setting after the extension has loaded causes the correct settings to take affect. Odd because this is the same method call.

Python-Nova.novaextension/Scripts/main.js

Line 267 in edce8a6

this.languageClient.sendNotification("workspace/didChangeConfiguration", getSettings())

@samdoran You are correct. The whole preferences loading thing seems to be very wonky. I'm primarily a python dev and I've barely used JS before this project, but if anyone has more insights/better ways to parse/handle preferences, I'm all ears.

[johnsturgeon]

Sad to say. Because I love Nova. I gave in and moved to PyCharm for Python. Still use nova but for python it's not ready for prime time

IMO, the bigger problem I'm grappling with is the lack of great open source Python Language servers. The current LS that this extension uses is Palantir's Python LS but it's slow. Microsoft per usual hasn't open sourced their excellent PyLance server that's bundled with VSCode. Their older Python-Language-Server hasn't received updates since last year.

I might be able to get everything working if I write substantially more code, doing stuff akin to what Nova's typescript extension does.

Same here. I know enough JS to be dangerous, but not very useful. 😁

I see what you mean. It's unfortunate that PyLance is not open source. There is a fork of python language server that seems actively maintained. No idea if it's any faster than Palanitr's.

Yes, I did take a look at that and am using it rn. But it's essentially the same, (afaik, it's a drop in replacement for Palantir's version). It's nothing groundbreaking like Microsoft's Pylance tbh.

Probably fixed in #19

Maybe also related to #18
