Inline comments in the ignore section are being validated in setup.cfg

[thomasjpfan]

how did you install flake8?

pip install flake8==6.0.0

unmodified output of flake8 --bug-report

{
  "platform": {
    "python_implementation": "CPython",
    "python_version": "3.10.8",
    "system": "Darwin"
  },
  "plugins": [
    {
      "plugin": "mccabe",
      "version": "0.7.0"
    },
    {
      "plugin": "pycodestyle",
      "version": "2.10.0"
    },
    {
      "plugin": "pyflakes",
      "version": "3.0.0"
    }
  ],
  "version": "6.0.0"
}

Note I needed to remove the inline comment for flake8 --bug-report to not raise an error.

describe the problem

what I expected to happen

I expect no error when there are inline comments in the ignore section from setup.cfg

...

sample code

Given the following setup.cfg

# setup.cfg
[flake8]
max-line-length = 88
target-version = ['py38']
ignore=
    E24,   # check ignored by default in flake8. Meaning unclear.

commands ran

$ flake8 --version

this was always happening -- the error is now pointing out that you were previously making a mistake since it was accidentally excluding things -- please read the flake8 configuration docs -- specifically the warning there
