flake8: Lint a file or directory recursively and show the line on which each error occurred.
$ flake8 --show-source ${filename_or_directory}
try on your machine
The flake8
command is a tool used for checking the coding style and potential errors in Python code.
The --show-source
flag is an option that tells flake8
to display the source code along with the errors or warnings found.
${filename_or_directory}
is a placeholder that represents the name of a specific Python file or a directory containing multiple Python files. It is where you specify the target file(s) or directory to be checked by flake8
.
So, when you run the command flake8 --show-source ${filename_or_directory}
, flake8
will analyze the specified Python file(s) or all the Python files within the specified directory, and display the source code along with any coding style violations or potential errors it finds.
