My Requirements:

Django==5.0.3
django-environ==0.11.2
psycopg2-binary==2.9.9
redis==5.0.3
djangorestframework==3.15.0
markdown==3.6.0
django-filter==24.1
celery==5.3.6
pylint==3.1.0
pylint-django==2.5.5

When I run this command:
pylint --load-plugins pylint_django --django-settings servis.settings.dev .

I am getting this error:

...

AttributeError: 'ForeignKeyStringsChecker' object has no attribute 'config'

I couldn't find any solution via googling with AttributeError: 'ForeignKeyStringsChecker' object has no attribute 'config'

Is anyone can help me? Do you support Django 5.0 ?

I have the same error with Django==4.2.13 and python3.10

@EfraimGENC I resolved by set this setting for my project
init-hook='import os, sys; sys.path.append("src"); sys.path.append("src/apps");'

@EfraimGENC Can you try this now with the latest master branch? I just found a bug elsewhere which I think will fix this one too.

Regarding 5.0, that is supported in the latest master branch, I'm working towards making a release to PyPI with that support.

Is it possible to release this to a new version to make it downloadable via pip etc?

For others ending up here... the AttributeError could be (depending on your version) due to a missing __init__.py file. I just updated to the latest and I don't get the exception any longer, but I do get an error (unless I add that file back):

$ pylint --rcfile .pylintrc --load-plugins pylint_django --django-settings-module TraceBase.settings -d E1101 DataRepo/widgets/search.py
************* Module Command line or configuration file
Command line or configuration file:1:0: F5110: Provided Django settings TraceBase.settings could not be loaded (django-settings-module-not-found)

My upgrades:

• pylint-django 0.8.2 -> 2.6.1
• pylint 3.1.0 -> 3.3.6

Python 3.9.1
