Yeah, I think that we are all in a learning process figuring out what the most robust solution looks like. Eventually, we will get there. Or close to it.

One big insight of this incident is that we might want to disable deprecation warnings during "code update" and (re-)enable them for the test runs. :-) So, we did learn something.

Hi Eliot,

sure, it is:

Deprecation showDeprecationWarnings: false.

Doh.. of course; excuse me.  Perhaps we should apply this preference when running any script.  The rationale being that the system may change, breaking existing scripts, and going back and editing all scripts is expensive.  Whereas arranging to show no deprecation warnings (or merely report them to the transcript?) is cheap.


At the moment, it is just a timing issue. Fabio has to update several scripts to disable the deprecation warnings. I think that he will do that soon, and then we can revert this change again.

And that seems to me the wrong response.  Scripts should keep working for as long as possible given that we're using them more and more.  Do you agree?



Best,
Marcel

Hi Marcel,

can't we have a preference which silences deprecation warnings? Lots of scripts could use something like this. We shouldn't have to hack valid depreciations to get around the reporting of those depreciations.
