PyLint not recognizing cv2 members

Question

I am running pylint on an opencv project and I am getting many pylint errors in VS code about members not being present.

Example code:

import cv2
cv         


        

Answer 1

1. On VScode: CTRL + Shift + P
2. Choose "Preferences: Open Settings (JSON)"
3. Add this line into JSON file: "python.linting.pylintArgs": ["--generate-members"]

Done, it works for me

Note: Make sure you choose "Preferences: Open Settings (JSON)", not "Preferences: Open Default Settings (JSON)"

Setting File would look like

{
"workbench.iconTheme": "vscode-icons",
"python.dataScience.sendSelectionToInteractiveWindow": true,
"kite.showWelcomeNotificationOnStartup": false,
"python.dataScience.askForKernelRestart": false,
"python.dataScience.jupyterServerURI": "local",
"python.pythonPath": "/usr/bin/python3",
"workbench.colorTheme": "Monokai",
"vsicons.dontShowNewVersionMessage": true,
"python.linting.pylintArgs": ["--generate-members"] }
