Warnings from dependency packages on first time compile. #31

Closed ajhager closed 8 years ago

ajhager commented 9 years ago

When you compile with either --warn or --report=json, just after you've run elm-package install, you get all the warnings from all the packages under elm-stuff the first run as they are being compiled. Most of these warnings are for "Native.SomeModule is unused". And since none of those files will get compiled again, the user never sees the warnings a second time. This can be very confusing the first time you compile in elm-vim with warnings enabled, for instance. Should unused native module warnings be suppressed?

This also relates to #27 in that warnings are important, but you'll miss them for any modules that don't need to be recompiled. So perhaps warnings should always be an opt in that forces everything to be recompiled so all your files are linted.
