Is there a way to suppress warnings in FlexPMD?

[jacornwell]

In PMD there is the @SuppressWarnings java annotation that can be used to suppress all or individual warnings in a class. Is there anything similar that can be added in an AS or MXML file with FlexPMD?

[Xavier_Agnetti · Accepted solution]

So there is a way to suppress one or all violations in a given line by appending // NO PMD or // NO PMD ruleName

There is no way at the moment to ignore every violation at a class level, or function level using metadata.

Feel free to add a feature request if you think it is needed.

Thanks Xavier. That worked well.

[Xavier_Agnetti]

Glad to hear that.

To be more accurate, // NO PMD ruleName has been added in Rc4, that has been released today

Cheers,

Xavier

FlexPMD is giving me a warning "adobe.ac.pmd.rules.performance.CreationPolicySetToAll" in an <mxml:Application> declaration. Is there a way to suppress this warning, or am I out of luck?

Thanks -

Marc

Can you attach an example?

Xavier,

I am seeing tons of warning messages as under. I am using ANT target to invoke FlexPMD. Can you suggest a way I can hide these messages ? I did //NO PMD for all our rules ...

In the current release of FlexPMD is there a way to suppress errors/warnings on the class level yet?

Thanks,

Borek
