Possible to add an ignore / whitelist for accepted errors?

made-by-chris commented 10 years ago

It would be nice to be able to whitelist a bunch of URLs which are expected to break for a number of reasons: dynamic-template URLS, hacky graceful fallbacks code etc.

Can i somehow do this with the current implementation?

It's possible to narrow down which URLs are crawled by taking advantage of the SimpleCrawler options. For instance, some JS files were throwing errors that I wasn't interested in, so I removed these from the URLs being crawled:

'link-checker': {
    postDeploy: {
        site: 'mydomain.com',
            options: {
                callback: function (crawler) {
                    crawler.addFetchCondition(function (url) {
                        return !url.path.match(/\.js$/i);
                    });
                }
            }
        }
    }
