Thank you @shenjunjie2003, I assigned you to it :)

When I am using dev pylint, the fixme words in comments are not being detected. But they are indeed being detected in the version 3.0.2 which I am currently using.

[Pierre-Sassoulas]

Might be due to pylint's pylintrc influencing what you do. I would start by creating a functional test in tests/functional with an associated conf file enabling fixme.

[shenjunjie2003]

Yep! I found it. Thanks!
