Vscode python check wrong method parameters

Recently I switched from pycharm to cursor which is vscode based. However, I found it cannot find errors if I pass wrong parameters to a method.

For example, I have a method like this:

def add(a, b):
    return a + b

And then I call this method like this:

add(1)

In pycharm, it will warn me that there is an unexpected argument. However, in cursor, it won’t. After some research, I found the setting python.analysis.typeCheckingMode in vscode. The default value in cursor is none, if it is set to basic, it will check wrong parameters and wrong method syntax.

By the way, I’m surprised that ruff check cannot find this error or I missed something?
