Bug 164813 – check-webkit-style: False posive Instance of 'Popen' has no 'kill' member [pylint/E1101] [5]

• Status: NEW
• Component: Tools / Tests

[Carlos Alberto Lopez Perez]

At https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=164792#c2 check-webkit-style complains with:


ERROR: Tools/Scripts/webkitpy/benchmark_runner/browser_driver/linux_browser_driver.py:85:  [LinuxBrowserDriver.close_browsers] Instance of 'Popen' has no 'kill' member  [pylint/E1101] [5]
Total errors found: 1 in 10 files


This is a false positive: 


Popen.kill()

    Kills the child. On Posix OSs the function sends SIGKILL to the child. On Windows kill() is an alias for terminate().

    New in version 2.6.

Note: I want to believe that we don't support python < 2.6
