How to ignore flake8 "line too long" errors in a heredoc

Question

Suppose I have a file with a heredoc with long lines:

    some_string = '''
very long lines here, 20 lines each of length 500
'''

How do I ignore all the flake8 "line too long" errors in that heredoc, without excluding the entire file from checking?

This answer describes # noqa for a single line, but I can't put that in the heredoc. The manual does not seem to describe ignoring a chunk of code.

Why do you have such long lines in the first place? Is it possible you could put them in a separate txt file instead? – Mercie

Could, but for a unit test, it's much more readable to just have the example right there. It's not actually length 500, it's more like 100. I just didn't want people to tell me to fiddle with the line length. – Ladyinwaiting

Answer 1

Oh oops, I found the answer. I can put # noqa at the end of the heredoc:

    some_string = '''
very long lines here, 20 lines each of length 500
'''  # noqa

I feel silly.

pls don't feel silly, you helped me today :) – Antiperiodic

What is the long line is comment? – Balf

@Balf I'm sorry, I don't understand the question. – Ladyinwaiting

I mean "What if the long line is a comment?" But after second try it turned out it works like expected (put ` # noqa` at the end of long comment), so nevermind. – Balf
