How to format files but not check them?

[clement-escolano]

Hello

I use ruff in some project both for linting and formatting. Our migrations folder is full of files (most of them are autogenerated) so I don't want ruff to check these files and fail if there is an issue. To do this, I added this folder in the exclude parameter in the configuration.

However, from time to time, I write a custom migration ((I am using PyCharm and ruff plugin) and would like ruff to format my code but ruff correctly does not because it is an excluded file.

Is it possible to configure ruff so that when it encounters a file, it formats it but when checking the whole project, it does not fail if there is an issue?

Thank you

Running ruff format <file> should format the file but the file gets ignored when running ruff format . (a direct path argument overrides the exclude rules). I don't think there's a way to get this functionality in VS Code or Pycharm.
