How can I fix `flake8 D100 — Missing docstring` error in atom editor

Question

I installed atom for python programming and also installed Linter and flake8 packages but everything I write in text editor I get this warning :

D100 — Missing docstring in public module

I already tried

 pip uninstall flake8-docstrings
 pip install Flake8-pep257

How can I fix this warning ?

Answer 1

You can configure linter-flake8 like any Atom package by editing the settings in Atom -> Preferences -> Packages -> linter-flake8.

Use "ignore error codes" for any errors that you don't want to see.

Answer 2

Its nothing but a comment like this on the top of your program. According to Python Documentation it should be there before every function and program. Here is a simple docstring code

"""Return the pathname of the KOS root directory."""

Answer 3

install "linter-ui-default dependencies" from the atom packages store.. It helped me.. for the first time it could not be installed. I restarted Atom and it asked me to install this package. clicking on yes it was installed successfully. And now I am not getting any error.
