How can I turn off specific messages in syntastic (vim)?

Question

I'm trying to turn off some of the messages in syntastic.

For example, SC20148 in bash files (it complains there's no shebang).

After looking through the documentation, it seemed that perhaps this might be done through:

let g:synstatic_quiet_messages = {
  \ 'type': 'syntax',
  \ 'regex': 'SC20148' }

However this doesn't seem to work. How do I turn off specific messages?

Answer 1

The Devil is in the details:

1. the variable is actually called g:syntastic_quiet_messages
2. the error is actually SC2148
3. you probably don't want to disable syntax messages.

Thus:

let g:syntastic_quiet_messages = { 'regex': 'SC2148' }

Or just:

let g:syntastic_sh_shellcheck_args = '-e SC2148'

Answer 2

Turn off multiple kinds of warnings in syntastic in vim:

Add this line to your .vimrc

let g:syntastic_quiet_messages = { 'regex': 'SC2148\|SC1234\|SC6789' }

Also you can do it against the message itself like this:

let g:syntastic_quiet_messages = { "regex": 'superfluous-parens\|too-many-instance-attributes\|too-few-public-methods' }

Agree with accepted answer, but wished to add some extra context.

You can run :h syntastic_quiet_messages to get the official docs with explanation of the commands.

You can use syntastic_quiet_messages or, if you have a particular filetype and checker, then use syntastic_<filetype>_<checker>_quiet_messages .

Here is a snippet from my .vimrc :

" keep some globals quiet
let g:syntastic_javascript_standard_quiet_messages = { 'regex': ['alert',
                                            \ 'localStorage',
                                            \ 'auth0js',
                                            \ 'auth0'] }

Above, I am keeping global errors quiet, and use an array to list more than one item. Only wish to apply this to javascript files, using the standard style lint checker .
