fixing the overly strict default typeCheckingMode

it may be an unpopular opinion, but i believe that type checkers/linters should be as strict as possible by default - to ensure that the user is made aware of all potential issues in their code, and that they are the ones responsible for making the conscious decision to reduce the strictness if they wish. i expand on my perspective in this comment.

the reality though is that it's really annoying for the user to see the same red line on both an unknown import and an unused import.

basedpyright 1.19.0 introduces a new default typeCheckingMode called "recommended", which sets most of the stricter rules to be reported as a warning instead of an error. we've also added a new setting called failOnWarnings for the CLI which is enabled by default in this mode.

i believe this addresses the concerns some users have had regarding the default settings, while still ensuring that the user is made aware of all the checks basedpyright has to offer.

you can read more about the diagnostic rulesets in the docs.

baseline support (beta) 🚀🚀🚀

have you ever wanted to adopt a new tool or enable new checks in an existing project, only to be immediately bombarded with thousands of errors you'd have to fix? baseline solves this problem by allowing you to only report errors on new or modified code. it works by generating a baseline file keeping track of the existing errors in your project so that only errors in newly written or modified code get reported.

to enable baseline, run basedpyright --writebaseline in your terminal or run the "basedpyright: Write new errors to baseline" task in vscode. this will generate a ./basedpyright/baseline.json for your project. you should commit this file so others working on your project can benefit from it too.

this file gets automatically updated as errors are removed over time in both the CLI and the language server. if you ever need to baseline new errors or an error that resurfaced because you've modified the same line of code it was on, just run that command again.

heavily inspired by basedmypy
