Dialixer Ignore Rules to Avoid Tech Debt
dialixer gives you that ability to ignore things, ignore these, these kinds of errors. And so that's where these ignore rules can be really helpful is, you know, maybe it's one particular file that seems to be wrong. So even though it's 60, 70 errors, it's one fix and then boom, you've just knocked out a bunch of errors. But like all tech debt, the idea is in the long run, we want to have no type errors, no ignored errors. That essentially is the ideal state.
Dialyzer is something that eventually everyone hears about in the Elixir community. It's a static code analysis tool that has both fans and detractors, and with good reasons on both sides! We talk with Noah Betzen about how he brought Dialyzer to several mature Elixir projects. He wanted the benefits of finding and fixing bugs and to prevent new problems from being added. He shared tools, strategies and other resources for how to get started without stopping everything to fix all the existing problems. If you've ever tried to add Dialyzer to a project and aborted, then this discussion may give you the courage and the tools to try again!
