flake8-docstrings | A plugin to flake8 to include checks provided by pep257 | Plugin library

pre-commit by design operates on files, it also is optimized to batch runs of linters against files into multiple processes

what's happening here is your configuration is running several invocations (~1 per processor) of bash -c "cd bar && flake8" file1 file2 file3 etc. etc.

fortunately there's a setting you can use to fix this for you:

• pass_filenames: false

with that:

It seems one of the plugins had added a config parser and changed one of the configuration files. When uninstalled the parser was removed but it left the changes in config file(s).

You need to run through all flake8 config files and remove config sections for uninstalled plugins.

your configuration is incorrect, you haven't limited the files that are passed to your hook with either files or types so it is defaulting to all files in your repository. presumably you have some binary file which is being passed to flakehell

I also notice that your configuration passes both a path and has pass_filenames: true (pass_filenames: true is the default so you shouldn't use that)

you either want to list paths in args (not recommended since you always lint more than what you're changing) or you want to filter the filenames properly

additionally, verbose: true is not intended for use outside of debugging as it adds warning noise to the output

additionally, you're not managing the installation of flakehell through pre-commit which will add additional burden to your contributors to try and set up whatever development environment locally, most of the point of pre-commit is that it manages installing your tools so your contributors don't have to jump through hoops to have the correct formatting / linting setup (eliminating a whole class of "it works on my machine" problems)

additionally, it looks like flakehell has direct support for pre-commit, so you don't need to use the repo: local escape hatch as you're doing

putting all of that together, you probably want something like this:

you can ignore all codes by using a prefix

you currently have an ignore = setting, you would add D (the code for flake8-docstrings) to that

I'd also suggest using extend-ignore over ignore since that will preserve the default set of ignored things (including some conflicting default rules (W504/W503))

disclaimer: I'm the current maintainer of flake8 and flake8-docstrings

Since default dir in the container is root : / I would recommend making the following changes to Dockerfile
