Empty or Default .pylintrc results in "found no problems"

[fredlllll]

Step 1: Are you in the right place?

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

Step 2: Describe your environment

• Plugin version: 0.14.0
• PyCharm/IDEA version: PyCharm 2022.2 (Windows 10)
• Pylint version: 2.14.5

Step 3: Describe the problem:

Steps to reproduce:

1. create empty or default .pylintrc file in project root
2. run pylint

Observed Results:

• get told there are no problems found, while there clearly are problems if run without the file present
• it also runs much faster through the project

Expected Results:

• same output as if no pylintrc file exists, or at least SOME errors

Relevant Code:

and a run after deleting the empty pylintrc file

I just ran in to this, except my pylintrc file had pylint spewing errors about "options value for 'x' was removed from pylint" and then a link to the pull request that removed it.

Frustates me that the Pylint maintainers (not you) don't have clear instructions on how (or WHY?) the ignore statements were removed from Pylint and what we're supposed to do about it. This is not how I wanted to spend my day.

Isn't this a duplicate of #69?

possibly, although that issue uses older versions, runs on a mac, and the user has some custom hooks etc built into his environment
