Plugin hangs indefinitely when pylint error occurs

[andreas-wolf]

Step 1: Are you in the right place?

• [ x] I have verified there are no duplicate active or recent bugs, questions, or requests
• [ x] I have verified that I am using the latest version of the plugin.

Step 2: Describe your environment

• Plugin version: 0.12.2
• PyCharm/IDEA version: professional 2020.3
• Pylint version: 2.6.0

Step 3: Describe the problem:

The plugin hangs indefinetly with ""pylint is scanning" when the pylint process had an error.

Steps to reproduce:

pylint can throw a recursion error: pylint-dev/pylint#3318
This is reproducible with the following code and pylint 2.6.0:

import pandas as pd

def _postprocess_recorded_data(psu_gun_imon_df):
    ab = pd.to_datetime(psu_gun_imon_df['Date UTC'])
    date_utc = ab.dt #.round('S')
    return date_utc.round('S')

Observed Results:

If pylint checks that code on console a stack trace appears.
If the plugin checks that code then it hangs indefinetly, probably because the pylint process which was started hangs.

Expected Results:

Some kind of error message

Hi everyone,

A new developer, @szabope, has created a full rewrite of this PyLint plugin. The new plugin is actively maintained and addresses many of the issues found here.

You can find the new plugin on the JetBrains Plugin Marketplace: PyLint Plugin
The source code is available here: GitHub Repository

Please give it a try, as the old plugin will soon be archived.

Thank you!
