If reactivated, the tool needs to be substantially improved. It is NOT smart. The false positives for slicing and logging examples are unnecessarily annoying. It creates a barrier for people submitting documentation patches. Each of the 367 entries in the susp-ignored file represents wasted time for contributors.
Also the CSV format is arcane, hard-to-read, and hard-to-edit. It looks like it was quickly thrown together by someone who didn't care about usability. Perhaps there should be a simpler tools that says, "take this current failure and mark it as a false positive" without trying to be over specific.
Mandatory checks with a high false positive rate are an anti-pattern for CI systems. Already we've had one case of a contributor (me) who abandoned a doc patch rather than fight this tooling. |
