Hi, Since command line flags are processed after config file directives, error messages that are disabled in a config file (or in a command line flag that appears before --errors-only) are not respected when running in errors-only mode.
This appears to be because errors-only mode unconditionally enables all messages with a category of 'E' or 'F'. We have a config file that has the messages that has a few error messages disabled (because of highly-dynamic features that we use that pylint can't interpret correctly), but we do run pylint in errors-only mode quite often. A patch that works for us is to change PyLinter.disable_noerror_messages not to ever enable messages (but only to disable non error messages). That seems like quite a large change though, since a user who only passes --enable (or enables messages through the config file) would not get messages in --errors-only that they haven't asked for. Is there an opinion on what patch might be acceptable for the project? Would it work to add an extra flag or put extra state in the PyLinter object so that it knows which messages have been explicitly disabled?
