Allow users to change type checking problems from 'errors' to 'warnings' (or 'information').

[cagross]

Type checking in VSCode reports type violations at the bottom of the VScode screen--as errors in red in the 'Problems' tab (screenshot). It would be nice to be able to change this to another type of notification (in another color) like warning or information (as in this screenshot).

If this is already possible, can you please let me know how to approach it? I've asked on Stack Overflow (see here), but there were no answers.

In my case, I do not have TypeScript installed in my project, so ignoring these errors will not result in any compile errors for me.
But I have many JSDoc block tags in my code, and I'd like to use VScode's type checking feature to read these and notify me when I call functions with type violations.

The reason I would like this feature is because in many of my project files, as soon I turn on type checking, scores (even hundreds) of type violations suddenly appear in the 'Problems' tab, making it very cluttered. I rely on the Problems tab to notify me of critical errors--those that will result in some error thrown (e.g. parse errors)--so having it cluttered with hundreds of non-crtical notifications reduces its utility. Of course I would like to fix all of the type violations, and I hope to do that at some point. But right now I'm not approved for that :-(

Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. I see you've marked this as a duplicate to this post. But I had a read, and that looks to be a separate request from mine--one to resolve a separate issue. That request is to allow users to completely clear the entries in Problems tab. I don't want to clear any entries from the Problems tab--I want to see them all. What I want is the option to change the 'designation' (for lack of a better word) of certain entries (the entries from VSCode's type checking feature), from red 'errors' to yellow 'warnings' or white 'information' (as per the icons in this screenshot).

Again, I think the type checking entries in the Problems tab are helpful, and very much want to read/process them. I'd just like to ensure they are displayed as something other than red errors.

Do you still think mine is a duplicate request?

Ok I see. Thanks for detail explanation.

These diagnostics are provided by extensions and they own all information of them. Please file an issue against the corresponding extension providing these diagnostics. FYI our CSS extension also provides customization to switch from warning to errors.

The behavior and issue I am describing are not related to any extension. It pertains to this native VSCode feature: Type checking JavaScript.

FYI our CSS extension also provides customization to switch from warning to errors.

Which extension is that?

[sandy081]

Assigning to @mjbvz since it is related to TS.

This is tracked upstream by microsoft/TypeScript#13408

It's a long running discussion so if you have something new to add, please share it on that issue

@mjbvz OK thanks for that.

@sandy081 earlier you mentioned, "FYI our CSS extension also provides customization to switch from warning to errors." Can you tell me which CSS extension you are referencing?
