Expected behaviour

After clicking “Enable pylint” button and have “python.linting.pylintEnabled” setting set to true, it is expected to stop seeing pop-up message “You have a pylintrc file in your workspace. Do you want to enable pylint?”.

Actual behaviour

The popup window “You have a pylintrc file in your workspace. Do you want to enable pylint?” pops up each time I start vscode despite on having python.linting.pylintEnabled" setting set to true.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open vscode
2. Open any .py file
3. See the pop up message “You have a pylintrc file in your workspace. Do you want to enable pylint?”.
4. Click “Enable pylint button”.
5. Close vscode
6. Open vscode
7. See that message again

Great. FYI If you’re working with a workspace (.code-workspace), it’s considered a multiroot scenario. In this case you didn’t save the workspace yet, but you’re still adding folders to a workspace.

We removed the “You have a pylintrc file in your workspace. Do you want to enable pylint?” prompt as part of #17225, closing this issue as stale.
