I have the same issue on OSX Mojave with IDEA 2018.3. Details below:

> pylint --version
pylint 2.2.2
astroid 2.1.0
Python 3.6.8 |Anaconda, Inc.| (default, Dec 29 2018, 19:04:46)

This happens when I’m working on a non-Python project (like Java, Scala, whatever) and I don’t manually configure the pylint path in the “Other Settings -> Pylint” section. If I work on a Python project and set the path to Pylint then the error doesn’t show up.

Even if I try setting the Pylint path when working on a non-Python project, when I click the “Test” button, a red X is displayed indicating that the test didn’t succeed. When looking at the idea.log file, the following error is recorded:

INFO - harm.pylint.plapi.PylintRunner - Command Line string: /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-11.0.1.jdk/Contents/Home /Applications/Development/anaconda3/bin/pylint --help-msg E1101 ile checking Pylint path

        at javax.swing.AbstractButton$Handler.actionPerformed(AbstractButton.java:2348)
        ....

It seems the plugin is trying to run pylint using the current project’s SDK which, for a Java project (for example) would be the JDK. Obviously that won’t work. I think this happens here: https://github.com/leinardi/pylint-pycharm/blob/4af2fe58d7edc3c3d187d538b6bd4308493f32f7/src/main/java/com/leinardi/pycharm/pylint/plapi/PylintRunner.java#L318

Perhaps this plugin should skip the detection of pylint for non-Python projects (if possible).

Thanks for the plugin!
