wrong-import-order fails on one system, passes in other

[astrojuanlu]

Bug description

In one system pylint is perfectly fine, but in another it's complaining about import order.

Configuration

Configuration is identical in both systems:

Thanks. Can you also provide $PATH? That's usually the source of discrepancies like this.

[astrojuanlu]

I don't understand how the $PATH might affect here but there you go:

Bad machine = CircleCI job https://app.circleci.com/pipelines/github/kedro-org/kedro/24429/workflows/0abf7a3a-ee7a-43a1-a8e8-4211e0e58447/jobs/282191

Good machine = Any other machine, tested on both my local macOS and a Gitpod instance https://github.com/kedro-org/kedro/tree/dev/fix-requirements-take-2

I don't understand how the $PATH might affect here

wrong-import-order depends on the determination isort makes about whether a package is first-party or third-party. The value of $PATH can affect that determination depending on how things are packaged and also the current working directory. Whether that violates the principle of least surprise is a whole other thing, but it's the status quo at the moment.

Thanks for the additional details.

[astrojuanlu]

So, pylint uses isort under the hood?

That's interesting, because we're running pylint as part of a larger linting action using pre-commit, and in both cases isort runs ahead of pylint and deems the files correct.

[jacobtylerwalls]

Pylint might be doing additional patching of sys.path, see #5226.

[jacobtylerwalls]

Will keep this open for investigation. A fast workaround would be to add 'build' to known third party packages (on mobile, don't have the exact wording of the config option name).
