GD-579: Minimize warnings in debug mode with any warning is configuration

[Tattomoosa]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I'm developing an engine plugin and using GdUnit to test it. Whenever I run my tests in debug mode, I get a bunch of warnings. It's all GDScript warning settings that I've turned on that are not on by default, and because to develop my plugin I have to turn the "exclude addons" setting off.

It does not emit any warnings during normal testing.

Describe the solution you'd like

GdUnit should be developed with all possible warnings on, and written to comply with them either through refactoring or warning_ignore annotations.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Changing my warning settings while debugging tests... not ideal but doable.
Godot adding a feature to selectively ignore addon warnings (Found godotengine/godot#93889 so this might happen soon)

Additional context
Is this a reasonable thing to expect? Is the developer toil here worth the better experience for the very few users it will affect? Refactoring to avoid all warnings would touch a ton of code - I'm not even sure how much since Godot caps at 400 with the "Too many warnings!" error. Some of the warnings don't provide much safety for how annoying they can be to write around (eg return value discarded)

A list of warnings ignored by default which push warnings when running tests in debug mode:

• Unsafe call argument
• Return value discarded
• Unsafe cast
• Unsafe method access
• Unsafe property access
• Inferred declaration

(This is all of the default ignored warnings except Untyped Declaration)

Hi, I know this problem and I had started to minimize the warnings some time ago, but stopped for now to focus on the release of version 4.4.

There is also a pending task to review and adjust the code style across all classes.
Most of the issues are migrated from the original implementation of GdUnit3 and never touched to apply the current code style guide.

Can you please attach your project setting to inspect the warnings you have enabled?

If I remember correctly the most prevalent one I saw was return value discarded. I listed all of the ignored-by-default settings that push warnings when set to warn in my initial post. Default settings didn't push any warnings that I saw. Funny enough I am thinking about giving up on return value discarded in my project anyway... it's a very annoying one to deal with and I don't think it's helped me catch any logic errors yet.

My settings:

gdscript/warnings/exclude_addons=false
gdscript/warnings/untyped_declaration=1
gdscript/warnings/unsafe_property_access=1
gdscript/warnings/unsafe_method_access=1
gdscript/warnings/return_value_discarded=1
