Please consider an option to disable repeated warnings, at least temporarily

[ghost]

My eslint plugin is currently throwing warnings every time I hit a key, but only when working in the eslint project itself.

I'm fine with the plugin being broken (it's in a broken state because I'm working on it), I'm not fine with Atom taking up half of my screen with a giant red warning box that I can't ever dismiss (because whenever I type anything another one just pops up).

My suggestion is to implement a solution tied to #12 -- Have an option akin to "Dismiss all warnings like this" that wouldn't show the same error again and again (important: even after the warning box is dismissed), at least until the editor is restarted, projects switched, or some other trigger.

This is still a problem, I have it in my plugin too: laughedelic/atom-ide-scala#20. Are there any common workarounds?

Here's a workaround that I posted in one of the other issues: atom/atom#8152 (comment)

Not great but it kind of works.

@karlhorky thanks for the link, but I don't think I want to include that in my plugin, because (if I understand it right) it will affect all notifications in Atom

I'm considering taking on Atom as I do some work at a high school teaching Python, and the students need an evolution from Python's builtin idle editor, aren't savvy to vim, and don't have $80 to throw down on Sublime. So I just did a fresh install of Atom from the main page download link.

First surprise, it didn't open files at first, had to hack around a bit before it would work, maybe a variation of atom/atom#15520 .

Second surprise is the current referenced issue -- when I do open a file, I get a waterfall of huge red boxes telling me about defects in a long list of plugins I could care less about. I just want to do some basic html/css/js hacking.

What the hell guys? How does so much broken code get into the main download link? Do you all not have a stable release branch with well-tested, reliable code and dependencies? If you do, why is your main download link not sending that version?

Pretty darn sloppy as a first impression.

FWIW, this is OSX 10.11.6 on a 2014 MBP running Atom 1.23.1 .

@SeanFelipe it looks like you're using Nuclide? Nuclide is an IDE built on Atom; you'll need to notify them of this issue at https://nuclide.io/support/.

I'm not sure where you're getting this information, because the main download link at https://atom.io does not contain Nuclide.

Thanks for the reply @50Wliu ~~

I must categorically deny all accusations of downloading Nuclide 🙌 I definitely downloaded from atom.io this morning. 🤷‍♂️

The originally downloaded binary:

Hmm, that is quite strange indeed! To avoid moving this issue off-topic, would you mind discussing this on Slack (https://atom-slack.herokuapp.com/) instead? I'm @Wliu if you want to tag me in the #atom channel there.
