pylint-pycharm: pylintrc is not being respected

Step 1: Are you in the right place?

• I have verified there are no duplicate active or recent bugs, questions, or requests
• I have verified that I am using the latest version of the plugin.

Step 2: Describe your environment

• Plugin version: 0.11.0
• PyCharm/IDEA version: 2019.1.3
• Pylint version: 2.3.1

Step 3: Describe the problem:

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a .pylintrc file in an arbitrary location. I used the project’s root directory.
2. Select the file in the plugin’s config screen under “Path to pylintrc”.
3. Run a scan using the “Scan project” button.

Observed Results:

The scan executes as if no .pylintrc file was provided.

Expected Results:

The scan should respect the configuration from .pylintrc

Relevant Code:

project tree:

.pylintrc file:

[MASTER]
ignore=no_pylint_here

Plugin settings:

Executing pylint from terminal, .pylintrc is respected:
