[BUG] doesn't support TOML list in `per-file-ignores`

[jamesbraza]

This pyproject.toml will blow up with pylint==3.2.6 and pylint-per-file-ignores==1.3.2:

[tool.pylint.messages_control]
per-file-ignores = [
    "scripts/modal/:import-error",  # Modal Image imports are a false positive
    "scripts/db.py:not-callable",  # not-callable is a false positive, SEE: https://github.com/pylint-dev/pylint/issues/8138
]

It blows up with an error on splitting in https://github.com/christopherpickering/pylint-per-file-ignores/blob/v1.3.2/pylint_per_file_ignores/__init__.py#L252-L257:

A workaround for not supporting TOML lists is string-ifying the per-file-ignores with DIY \n:

[tool.pylint.messages_control]
# Modal Image imports are a false positive
# not-callable is a false positive, SEE: https://github.com/pylint-dev/pylint/issues/8138
per-file-ignores = "scripts/modal/:import-error,\nscripts/db.py:not-callable"

I ran into this too, just now - thanks for the workaround, James 😃. Toml multi-line strings mean DIY \ns are not required, by the way:

[tool.pylint.messages_control]
# Modal Image imports are a false positive
# not-callable is a false positive, SEE: https://github.com/pylint-dev/pylint/issues/8138
per-file-ignores = """
    scripts/modal/:import-error,
    scripts/db.py:not-callable
"""

Is there chance to get fix for that?

I'm not working this project, but if a PR comes up I will be happy to merge it.

Hi. @christopherpickering Sorry for late answer. I really didn't have a time for that. I prepared the fix for the problem. Please check it and merge: #166
