Disable path consolidation for a single line in code

When I publish a Python toolbox and reference a file on the server's file system, I need to register a folder in Data Stores otherwise the file (from my local machine) will be consolidated.

I would like to suggest introducing a mechanism so a developer can force having resources referenced removing the need to register folders.

It could be as simple as a comment (which the parser will identify) similar to pylint or other tools. Below a quick example:

import json # ... DATASOURCE_CONFIG_FILE = r"f:\geoportal\data.json" # esri: disable=consolidate class Tool(object): # ... @staticmethod def read_datasources(): """ Read datasource config file. """ with open(DATASOURCE_CONFIG_FILE, "r") as config_file: return json.load(config_file)
