Thanks! This makes it much easier to review. Left some comments!

Can we leave this out? pre-commit is not necessary to run the tests.

Ok, I'll move it out of this branch.
But do you have any advice - how can I get rid of formatting: failed with pre-commit is not allowed, use allowlist_externals to allow it without adding this in requirements? Is there some global config for tox where I can add pre-commit dependency or set allowlist_externals?

I don't really use tox, didn't know we still recommend it.

You can probably just use the CI for this? That's what I always do 😄

Moved pre-commit dependency directly to the tox.ini config - does it seem like better solution?

pylint/config/config_initialization.py

+    # save Runner.verbose to make this preprocessed option visible from other modules
+    linter.config.verbose = verbose_mode


I don't understand why this is necessary. Is ore logic for this flawed?

Currently the only places where it is known that --verbose was set is inside Run.__init__() and in 2 functions that are called directly from there (_config_initialization and linter.generate_reports).

When I add additional configs, I also add verbose messages about loading and applying of these configs. Since applying per-file configs can't happen in global Run.__init__(), information about verbosity should be copied to some place where several calls of linter._lint_file and downstream methods can access it.

pylint/config/config_initialization.py

+    if Path(".").resolve() not in linter._directory_namespaces:
+        linter._directory_namespaces[Path(".").resolve()] = (linter.config, {})


This should not have the if I think? _config_initialization should be called once? Even for multi-dir?

_config_initialization has some non-trivial logic for parsing several possible variants of configs into namespace, merging it with command-line arguments, configuring plugins and reporting errors during this process. So it was convenient to reuse all this logic for parsing additional configs, and _config_initialization is going to be called for each new config in subsequent changes

Hmm but shouldn't we pass the path of the current config file to this function then? On its own this if statement doesn't make a lot of sense.

Exactly - the path of the current config file is passed to _config_initialization in Run.__init__, and paths of new config files will be passed there in register_local_config.

The idea of this if is that first time when _config_initialization is called, it parses config from working directory, and this config should be saved to linter._directory_namespaces to avoid additional processing of special cases. But next times when _config_initialization is called, it shouldn't overwrite config for working directory with values from new files.

Could you explain why we need the merging of stats for the multi-dir config option?

Current state is that some stat counters are reset during linter.open(), some are reset in linter.set_current_module -> init_single_module(), and some are not reset at all (error, warning etc in 1st group, all counters in stats.by_module in 2nd group, statement in 3rd). It leads to incorrect score calculation when linter (i.e. main checker) is opened per file, or when it is opened after getting asts.
So I decided to reset all possible counters for each new module by creating new LinterStats object in set_current_module.

If stats reset is omitted entirely, then another problem arises:
When jobs>1, the same linter object can be used for checking several modules, stats after each module are copied and then merged.
It leads to a situation when some stats are accounted several times in final result (it's checked in test_subconfigs_score in my 1st PR).

Explicit stats reset and merge in single process can be avoided, but it will require additional changes in code for parallel checks. I'd suggest to leave it as a possible optimization in another PR.

Hey @0nf and @DanielNoord, I've been running the benches on this branch, and these changes seem to significantly impact the baseline benchmarks and from their definition, those seem important:

pylint/tests/benchmark/test_baseline_benchmarks.py

Lines 118 to 124 in 67bfab4

    
               def test_baseline_benchmark_j1(self, benchmark: BenchmarkFixture) -> None: 
        
                   """Establish a baseline of pylint performance with no work. 
        
                   We will add extra Checkers in other benchmarks. 
        
                   Because this is so simple, if this regresses something very serious has happened 
        
                   """

However, there is a big regression on the runs:

Curious to know if you expected this performance change.
For some explanation, I installed CodSpeed on a fork synced with this repo. You can look at the full report here.

DanielNoord · 2024-04-18T07:03:04Z

Thanks for that @art049.

It is probably related to the moving of ast_per_fileitem = self._get_asts(fileitems, data). Does the report also point to what is making the performance slower?

art049 · 2024-04-18T19:17:26Z

@DanielNoord yes it seems from the differential profile the regressions is mainly located in PyLinter._get_namespace_for_file:

A lot of new code(in blue) is executed here.

0nf · 2024-04-19T09:58:44Z

Path.resolve() is not connected to the moving of self._get_asts(fileitems, data), it is just added for correct identification of parent directories, including situations where paths contain symlinks.

There is also a report based on branch with full changes for per-directory configs. _get_namespace_for_file is behind the new feature flag there, so in the end performance of test_baseline_benchmark_j1 is affected to a much lesser extent.

- Add opportunity to open checkers per-file, so they can use values from local config during opening - Save command line arguments to apply them on top of each new config - More accurate verbose messages about config files - Enable finding config files in arbitrary directories - Add opportunity to call linter._astroid_module_checker per file in single-process mode - Collect stats from several calls of linter._astroid_module_checker in single-process mode - Extend linter._get_namespace_for_file to return the path from which namespace was created

- Responses to review comments - Add test for calling _astroid_module_checker on different levels - Move Path.resolve() out of _get_namespace_for_file recursive calls

DanielNoord · 2024-04-24T07:43:16Z

@jacobtylerwalls I think you have done some regression testing in the past. Can you comment on whether you see a performance regression with these changes/

+            config_path, namespace = self._get_namespace_for_file(
+                Path(filepath).resolve(), self._directory_namespaces


The linked report traces the regression to the call to resolve().

I wonder if we can guard it under not path.is_absolute():

>>> from timeit import timeit >>> timeit('p.is_absolute()', setup='from pathlib import Path; p=Path(".")') 0.1643185840221122 >>> timeit('p.resolve()', setup='from pathlib import Path; p=Path(".")') 10.929103292000946

Edit: Seems like is_absolute() will always be false as things stand, so we probably need to look higher up the stack for a place to do some sort of conversion.

Hi @DanielNoord ! I haven't marked some of your review notes as resolved because I don't know if my answers to them were sufficient. Could you check if my comments actually answer your questions? 🙂

0nf · 2024-05-06T08:04:15Z

Also, I'm a bit confused about what to do with performance drop in test_baseline_benchmark_j1.

Is it critical, given that the time difference is less than 5ms in all cases, which is <1% in all test_baseline_lots_of_files* benchmarks?
If yes - would it be ok to hide Path.resolve() behind an analog of use-local-configs feature flag? I was thinking about a condition like len(self._directory_namespaces) > 1

DanielNoord · 2024-05-07T21:35:50Z

Just letting you know that this is on my TODO list but just haven't found the time yet.
