December 17, 2023 - February 25, 2024 in Darker: VSCode integration challenges and CI improvements

[akaihola]

This period saw continued efforts to address VSCode integration issues and improve our CI pipeline. We made progress on the previously reported GitLab CI "dubious ownership" error (Issue #524), with steps taken to update darkgraylib and plans to release version 2.0.1. The community also engaged in discussions about potentially supporting Ruff's formatter as an alternative to Black (Issue #521), with interest in its performance benefits.

We tackled several bug fixes and improvements. A patch was merged to fix Black's usage of .gitignore files (PR #515), addressing a long-standing issue. We also made updates to our GitHub Actions, upgrading to actions/setup-python@v5 to resolve Node.js 16 deprecation warnings (PR #530). Additionally, we addressed miscellaneous test failures by updating our configuration for various linting tools (PR #531). On the documentation front, we corrected a typo in the pylint example in our README (PR #520).

The ongoing VSCode integration challenges remained a focus, with community members reporting conflicts when using Darker with VSCode's formatOnSave feature. We've consolidated references to related discussions and issues under a single tracker (Issue #527) to better address these concerns. As we work on long-term solutions, we're considering updating our documentation to provide clearer guidance during this transition period.
