Proposal: mix compile to have --no-warnings option

[Siraj Kakeh]

Hello,

What?

I would like to propose adding a "--no-warnings" option to command "mix compile"

Why?

Elixir have a great warnings dictionary, but in case of wanting/needing to see a value printed on the command line it gets messy especially with big projects.

I would love to hear your thoughts on this!

I think we don’t have to add this because every time I see warnings it reminds me to cleanup the code base and on a large project after a year at last when i cleaned up the code base and warnings. It really fixes many hidden bugs as well. 

So I think it will make us lazy and will keep many hidden bugs as well.

Regards

Syed Murtza

This has been asked a few times and I will report the gist of José's usual answer: if we suppress warnings, then why have warnings in the first place? Warnings are meant to be things that should be fixed sooner rather than later, but that don't halt development (otherwise they would be errors). Hope this clarifies a bit :)

Warnings are printed on stderr so you can silence them by redirecting output:

mix deps.compile --force 2> /dev/null

When in development, before the final code is adopted, I think it's more productive than counter-productive to have a clean command line interface with the desired output. It's an often practice to comment parts of the code in favor of outputting a specific value, that's particularly the case when a "--no-warnings" option is much needed imo.

If you're getting so many warnings you can't find your output, perhaps you've got other issues you should focus on?

I mean I get your point--when I'm doing development I sometimes do stuff that throws (at the time) useless warnings.  But there aren't that many warnings generated so I don't mind ignoring them while I'm doing development.  If you're getting so many warnings that you can't find your output you may want to figure out why you're getting that many warnings in the first place.

Hi,

--no-deps-warnings could be fine :)

Best regards

Sure, but then you aren’t alerted to the fact that your dependencies are lagging behind.

A warning today is a problem tomorrow. Those warnings should help drive us to submit pull requests etc.
