Is there a pragma to disable a critic for a particular method?
Hello Everyone,
While I take the critiques seriously, there are times when I will
intentionally disregard a specific warning. In these cases, in other
languages, I have found it useful to indicate that I am disregarding a
warning by adding a pragma to disable that particular warning. I have been
looking for similar functionality in Pharo. I found an old (circa 2009)
reference to <lint> and <ignoreLintRule> pragmas, but those seem to no
longer work.
Is there currently a way to disable a specific warning in a method?
Thank you,
Eric
Hello,
I don't know about any pragma, but you can deactivate the lint rule to only one method. You need to click on the "x" that is next to the name of the rule and then select the option that you prefer. This will create a Manifiesto class that contains the information of which rules to ban on to which context.
Cheers,
Sebastian Jordan

Thanks, Sebastian,
This worked and solved my problem. For future readers, these changes get
added to a Manifest<Package-Name> class and make their way into the git
repo and the mages that load the baseline in that repo.
It would be nice for a visible pragma to live near the code that triggers
the warning that the pragma is suppressing, but having a way to do this is
much better than not having a way.
Thanks again,
Eric

Yes, the storage of code meta data is something that we should re-think. The current way is kind of the most simple thing that worked, but it has many downsides.
And it is another example of the interesting thing that, as soon we think of code (and thus the model of the language itself), we stop thinking in terms of Objects.
Everything has to be a Class or a Method. For sure we can do better.
