Make KiBot fail on unconnected items with filter

[gcormier]

I've checked the DRC section, but I'm not sure if this use case can be covered.

I want to have KiBot fail if there are items unconnected. I'd like to filter this, as some "unconnected" items (`SHIELD) I don't care about.

I think this can't be done today, and I might need some combination of ignore_unconnected as well as the ability to filter that?

Why don't you just add filters for the SHIELD stuff?

Try something like:

kibot:
  version: 1

preflight:
  run_drc: true
  filters:
    - filter: 'Ignore J1 shield connections'
      error: 'unconnected_items'
      regex: 'J1-SHIELD-PadS1'

Note that the name unconnected_items is the name used by KiCad and reported in the KiBot logs (from the DRC report).

I implemented a toy test here: test_unconnected_items_filter.zip

Thanks! I did that last night as a first step, but now I need to either fix up my DRC I guess or figure out what else to ignore :) This is a good starting point though, I will play around some more and report back.
