Since the auto-generated Django files don't fulfill numerous pylint-requirements, my

The files look usually like so:

They seem to be located automatically in a sub-folder called "migrations":

Now, I tried to leverage the

Now, putting this into my pylint pre-commit checker does unfortunately nothing:

I also tried to just exclude the "migrations" folder, but I could not find a working expression either. How can I make this work?

your regex you tested and the regex you used are different:

# one you tested
[\w-] \d [^\\]*.py
# the one you tried
^[\w-] \d [^\\]*.py

the ^ anchors to the beginning of the string which is not what you want (your files are specifically in a subdirectory and not at the root of the repository)

additionally, slashes will always be forward slashes for pre-commit's file matching so you should instead exclude (and test against) forward slashes:

[\w-] \d [^/]*.py

a minor bug is you'd then match whatever1_py due to an un-escaped . (probably not a problem but here's an improvement):

[\w-] \d [^/]*\.py

you're also using a javascript regex tester -- while it doesn't matter for the features you're using here you probably want to use a python one as the patterns here are python regular expressions

so try this:

exclude: '[\w-] \d [^/]*\.py'

disclaimer: I wrote pre-commit, though it matters less here since this is just a regex confusion

Use the following to match and exclude all files containing the sub-folder "migrations":

exclude: (migrations)
