October 2 - November 12, 2023 in Darker: Addressing CI issues and enhancing VSCode compatibility

[akaihola]

This period saw us tackling various challenges related to continuous integration and editor integration. We addressed a GitLab CI issue where Darker was failing due to "dubious ownership" in the repository (Issue #524). This problem persisted even after marking the directory as safe for Git, highlighting a potential area for improvement in our handling of Git configurations in CI environments.

We also made progress on enhancing VSCode compatibility. A bug was identified where the --stdout option threw an error when a dash was given to indicate stdin input, breaking VSCode integration (Issue #523). This led to discussions about potential fixes and workarounds for users trying to use Darker with the new VSCode Black formatter extension. Additionally, we merged a fix for the pre-commit hook configuration (PR #519), ensuring that each argument is on its own line to prevent misinterpretation. On the documentation front, we corrected a typo in the pylint example in our README (PR #520). Lastly, we began exploring the possibility of supporting ruff format as an alternative formatter (Issue #521), which could potentially offer performance improvements in the future.
