How to ignore E501: Line too long in docstrings

[DanielNoord]

def func():
    """
    My very long docstring that I can't seem to be able to get under 100 characters but that I don't want to change.
    """

    string = "My very long string that I can't seem to be able to get under 100 characters but that should be changed"

Running ruff --select=E501 --line-length=100 test.py.

How can I ignore E501 on the line in the docstring but not in the string line. I have tried to do this but can't figure out how to do so. pylint read the ignore comment even if it is in a docstring, would that be a possibility here?

The # noqa for multi-line strings need to come at the end of the multi-line string, kinda like this:

def func():
    """
    My very long docstring that I can't seem to be able to get under 100 characters but that I don't want to change.
    """  # noqa: E501

This ensures that the # noqa doesn't appear within the actual string contents.

Thanks @charliermarsh, that's what I was looking for.

Not sure if these should be added to the line-too-long docs. Multi-line strings and docstrings are different objects and I couldn't find anything through google/GIthub when looking for docstrings. Adding a short example for them might help with discoverability.

Good call -- it's mentioned in the docs here but it should probably be mentioned in the rule documentation since this does come up often.
