PyCharm noinspection for whole file?

Is it possible to disable an inspection for the whole file in PyCharm?

Yes.

NOTE: This answer is for this quoted question only (and not about “Maybe there’s another way to fix these problems? Maybe I’m using py.test incorrectly?”).

  1. Settings/Preferences | Appearance & Behavior | Scopes
  2. Create a new scope that would include such “unwanted” file(s)
  3. Settings/Preferences | Editor | Inspections
  4. Find that “problematic” inspection
  5. Select that newly created scope in the appropriate list (the old IDE versions had to use Right click and choose “Add scope”)
  6. Disable that inspection for that specific scope.

An example from my PhpStorm 2022.3 (would be the same or very similar in PyChram):

Alternatively (should work: although this depends on the actual inspection… I’m not PyCharm user so cannot check it out)

  1. Use Alt + Enter while caret is standing on the error/warning place in your code (or via light bulb icon using a mouse)
  2. Select correct entry from appeared popup menu
  3. Using Arrow Right key expand the submenu (with mouse it can be quite tricky to do: the hit box is rather small)
  4. Look for Suppress inspection option
  5. It will add a special comment on the preceding line (or at the top of the file depending on what you choose) to ignore that inspection only

(this is how it looks in PhpStorm; available options can differ between inspections)
