The flake8-ic plugin ensures clean and production-ready code by identifying any instances of the ic() function, commonly used for debugging. This tool integrates seamlessly with flake8 to provide automated checks.

The flake8-ic plugin checks for the usage of the ic() function and related methods from the icecream package in your codebase. Below is a list of errors it detects:

You can disable specific checks for flake8-ic using the --disable-ic-checks option. This is useful if you only want to enforce certain rules. The following options are available:

• IC100: Disables checks for the ic() function.
• IC101: Disables checks for the ic.disabled() method.
• IC102: Disables checks for the ic.enabled() method.

1. Disable a Single Check:

   flake8 --disable-ic-checks=IC100

   This will disable only the IC100 check.

2. Disable Multiple Checks:

    flake8 --disable-ic-checks=IC100,IC101

   This will disable both the IC100 and IC101 checks.

3. Configuration in setup.cfg or tox.ini: You can set this option in your configuration file to apply it automatically:

   [flake8] disable-ic-checks = IC100,IC102

4. Configuration in pyproject.toml: Add the configuration under the [tool.flake8] section:

   [tool.flake8] disable-ic-checks = "IC100,IC102"

By disabling checks, you can tailor the plugin to match your project’s requirements while maintaining a clean and focused codebase.

Install the plugin via pip:

pip install flake8-ic

To confirm the plugin is installed, run:

flake8 --version
