pylint plugin incompatible with IntelliJ IDEA v. 2020.2 on Catalina

[jgoldste]

pylint can be executed from the command line but not within IntelliJ. Please see the bug report I submitted to JetBrains, who sent me to you. Thank you.

I'm on IntelliJ ultimate 2020.3 beta but also unable to run this plugin.
I'm getting the following error when I hit the test button:
Pylint Plugin: Failure: executable "/Users/pim/projects/personal/rcm/venv/bin/pylint" not found

Also tried the /usr/local/bin/pylint executable but doesn't work either.

I'm certain the path is fine because:

$ where pylint
/Users/pim/projects/personal/rcm/venv/bin/pylint
/usr/local/bin/pylint
/usr/local/bin/pylint

And yes, the file is executable:

 ~/projects/personal/rcm/venv/bin $ ls -al | grep pylint
-rwxr-xr-x   1 pim  staff    251 Nov 24 20:07 epylint
-rwxr-xr-x   1 pim  staff    249 Nov 24 20:07 pylint

18:08 Pylint Plugin (Unable to run Pylint)
Pylint is installed inside the project environment but the plugin is not able to run it. If you just installed it try to run File -> Synchronize or restart your IDE. If the problem persists you may need to manually enter the path to the Pylint executable inside the Plugin settings.

The "/home/lars/.jdks/adopt-openj9-1.8.0_282" is just the directory. Might that be the problem? You can't run a directory?

Yes.... project SDK was a JDK, needs to be Python interpreter...
No it's working!
