How to enable linting for flake8 plugins in VSCode?

I am having flake8 installed and VSCode is able to detect default checks with the squiggly lines. Now, I installed flake8-docstring but VSCode is not warning on missing docstring.

For example, running below command in powershell, gives expected output.

>> python flake8 abc.py
abc.py:1:1: D100 Missing docstring in public module

But in VSCode, it is not showing the squiggly lines.

I answered it here.

You must configure the extension to use your installed Flake8. Do it in your settings.json with: "flake8.importStrategy": "fromEnvironment",

See the answer above for more details.
