Warning: `Possible method call error`

Tooling VS Code

Hi, I am new to Julia in the VS Code, does someone know how to get rid of this annoying warning? The code is fully working by the way.

The only way to get rid of this class of false positives is to turn the feature completely off in VSC’s settings e.g., add the following line to your settings.json:

"julia.lint.call": false,

@piechologist and @arturofburgos
I also frequently get this every time I call plot(). I am not the best coder, so would it be “safe” for me to turn off the linter help? Is it from VS code, or the Julia extension? I’m not sure I want all the warnings off if that makes sense…

There’s no fine grained control.

You can’t disable the warnings for plot only. There’s a setting to disable the linter for certain directories but that’s probably not what you’re looking for. There are a dozen of other linter classes. Open VSCode > Settings and search for “julia lint”.

The linter logic is definitely part of the Julia VSCode extension. I remember a recording from JuliaCon 2023 and it seems linting is a non-trivial job to do.
