In the Build window, why do we have "Warnings" and "Ignored Warnings," but only one "Errors" -- ?

I'm guessing an error, any error, is terminal and will stop the build.

Warnings can affect the build, but aren't terminal. I'm wondering if ignored warnings are warnings from a previous build?

Ignored warnings are warnings that you (or Flare by default for some warnings) have indicated that you do not want to be notified about.

These are defined at a global level from the Build tab of the Options window. You can override the settings from the Warnings tab for individual Flare targets if you want a specific target to have different settings for some reason.

If you open the build log, ignored warnings will not show in the Warnings tab or the log file itself.

You can configure whether Flare displays certain warnings in the build log; it's under File > Options > Build:
If you clear the check box next to a warning, that warning won't appear in your log when you build the target, even if Flare encounters the problem. The log lists the number of ignored warnings:
Ignored Compiler Warnings: 1001

Thanks,

Is there a way to view the ignored warnings in the log? Seems I cannot find it.

Thanks for the tip, Kristen! I was wondering what was going on...!

Hi there!

Has any of you encountered an issue with this warnings and jenkins?

Thanks!

I know Warnings and Ignored Warnings can be ignored, but the number of Ignored Warnings are counting up and I can't find the reason for that. I would say about me to know how to program HTML, but apparently there is something wrong.
Is there any way I could find out what causes these Ignored Warnings and correct the code to remove them?
Thank you in advance.

As mentioned by kkelleher in this thread, you need to go to File > Options > Build, and look at the warnings that are NOT set to Display - as these are your ignored warnings.
If you select all the warnings there, they'll not be ignored any more, and you'll see them listed in the Warnings tab of the build log when you next build your target.

I *think* the Accessibility and Web Accessibility warnings are switched off by default, so typically these might be your ignored warnings.

Thank you, I will do what you recommend and see what the ignored warning warning me about and if I can correct the code so they are not showing up anymore.
