*args is considered as missing in documentation

[biomael]

Hi, I met an issue with the following code:

def function(file, *args, sep=";"):
    """Description of the function

    Parameters
    ----------
    file : str
        Path to the input.
    *args
        Relevant parameters.
    sep : str, optional
        File separator.
    """

Current behavior

Return this warning: W9015: "args" missing in parameter documentation (missing-param-doc)

Expected behavior

No warning must be returned as there is a documentation concerning *args

@DanielNoord Would you like to take a look at this? I'm unable to reproduce it with main.

I'm able to reproduce this.

Adding pylint.extensions.docparams to load-plugins and no-docstring-rgx=__.*__ makes this warning emit for me.

I have a feeling it might be because of the * because the message reports it is missing for args instead of *args. I will take a look!

Thanks @DanielNoord
