Browsing Checks and Failures

In the Verissimo linting report:

2. Double-click on a failure to go to source.
3. Note that linting failure markers are shown to the left side of the editor.

Fixing Errors and Reapplying Checks

• Fix the error and save the file.
• DVT incrementally compiles the changes you make.
• Reapply the failed checks from the linting report.
• Notice that the check is now passing.

Changing Check Severity and Adding Waivers

• A different error is still reported on the same line.
• Hover and right-click to reveal the check in the linting report.
• To demote the severity of this check, right-click on it and choose Add Waiver for Check.
• You can tune various waiver parameters in the Edit Waiver dialog.
• For example, set the severity to Warning.
• Click OK when done and notice that the check severity is now Warning.

Viewing Failures in the Problems View

• You can also see the failures in the Problems view.
• Failure markers are cleared when you close the linting report.
