Pylint unable to suppress duplicate-code warning across files

Hi,

I have same code in two files in a project, and this is by design, since these are test cases. On running pylint on my project I am being thrown a duplicate-code warning by pylint even though I have disabled the pylint check for duplicate-code in both of my files locally # pylint: disable=duplicate-code .
I can suppress this warning globally by running pylint <foldername> --disable=duplicate-code which I don't want because I really don't want duplicate-code to exist in the project; they can only exist if the user has any specific requirements.

regards
Rohit

This has nothing to do with astroid and is a duplicate of #214 in pylint to which Claudiu and I already linked you to via IRC and mailinglist...

Thanks, Florian.

Interestingly, I do have the same issue today. I have two test classes (in two files) that are almost identical in one place, but this is by design; as usual this with tests, I suppose. How can I disable the duplicate-code warning locally?

The issue linked to Bitbucket above is not accessible anymore. -- Please advise.

This issue is a pylint one.
Duplicated with: pylint-dev/pylint#214

FYI I'm waiting testers to receive feedback of the following fix: pylint-dev/pylint#1055
