How to disable type checking for a file and leave only syntax highlighting?

[seniorkonung]

Before I start developing the package, I want to create a test file and sketch out a basic script for interacting with the package. Using functions, modules and types that don't exist, because I make them up as I go along. And I can't figure out how to do it without getting tons of type errors but leaving syntax highlighting.

I created in settings.json a setting {“files.associations”: {“*.ress”: “rescript"}}.

This works, but every time I save I get the No .res or .resi file. Unable to format it. Is there any way to remove it?

Ideally, I would like to be able to write something like //@noCheck at the top of the file so that the file is ignored by the vscode extension.

So at least for the whole project, you can disable incremental compilation in .vscode/settings.json:

{
...
+ "rescript.settings.incrementalTypechecking.enable": false
}

Then it will only be compiled on save, but you would still see parse errors.

Also, it does not solve all your problems, but do you know %todo? Edit: you do.

@zth we already have an editor-specific annotation so can we add a
@@editor.incrementalTypechecking(false) (or similar) as well?
