SuppressWarnings annotation

Call me a fan of Gnag! But sometimes the warnings had a good reason being there. For example in my tests I use lots of ‘magic numbers’. Very bad in production code, acceptable in tests (IMHO). Checkstyle is however adamant in complaining:

Violation: MagicNumberCheck
Location: src/test/java/eu/someorg/site/SomeTest.java:64
Notes: '123.4' is a magic number.

I was hoping to silence these warnings with an annotation on the test method like so:

@SuppressWarnings("checkstyle:magicnumber")
public someTest() { ... }

I’ve cycled through several variants of the annotation but none seem to stick. What’s the Right Way? Also how do I figure out which version of CheckStyle I’m using?

I’m using Gnag 1.3.1.

It works! This is why OSS wil win. Many thanks.

@haarts You should be able to update to Gnag 1.3.2 and the inline suppression should work. I’ve update the example-android project’s ExampleUnitTest.java to show how each works for your exact use case. Let me know if you have any issues.
