VS Code does not honor pylint pyproject.toml file under default settings

Environment data

• VS Code version: 1.47.3
• Extension version (available under the Extensions sidebar): 2020.7.96456
• OS and version: Ubuntu 18.04
• Python version (& distribution if applicable, e.g. Anaconda): 3.8.2
• Type of virtual environment used (N/A | venv | virtualenv | conda | …): venv
• Relevant/affected Python packages and their versions: pylint 2.5.3
• Value of the python.languageServer setting: default / Jedi

Expected behaviour

Under the default settings pyproject.toml, setup.cfg, or .pylintrc file configs would be applied

Actual behaviour

These settings not applied unless Pylint Use Minimal Checkers is unchecked or explicitly set to false

Steps to reproduce:

pyproject.toml

[tool.pylint.messages_control]
disable = "undefined-variable"

And then save a python variable with an undefined variable and you will see the lint error despite the message being disabled in the pyproject.toml file

The plan is to remove pylint minimal checkers when we have this #11995. Closing this issue, since this will be addressed as a part of enabling #11995.

Any news on this?

Still trouble using flake8 config from pyproject.toml I see this MR https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-python/issues/13321 but looks related to pylinkt and not flake8

Members of my team say it is working fine and to switch to pycharm…
