I just want simple method argument checking without going down the typeChecking=basic painful rabbit hole

[akrherz]

Sorry to be grumpy, but I just want pylance/pyright to tell me when I make silly mistakes like this

def foo(a):
   ...

foo()

As it stands now, I have to enable python.analysis.typeChecking=basic to get this problem reported. Enabling that though causes a mountain of false positives to be generated from the usage of libraries like pandas and about everything else under the sun it seems. Oye. There must be a simple way? Thank you.

You can keep typeChecking=off but enable only the reportCallIssue diagnostic check. This might be slightly broader than what you're looking for, but it's pretty close. You could set the severity level to error or warning depending on how you'd like these diagnostics to appear.

Thank you! What a relief :)

"python.analysis.diagnosticSeverityOverrides": {
    "reportCallIssue": "warning",
}
