  • I have read the contribution docs, and understand what's expected of me.

Link to the page on docs.getdbt.com requiring updates

https://docs.getdbt.com/reference/global-configs#warnings-as-errors

What part(s) of the page would you like to see updated?

The warn_error config (--warn-error flag, DBT_WARN_ERROR env var) will remain a simple boolean: treat all warnings as errors, or none.

Users can choose the more granular warn_error_options config (--warn-error-options, DBT_WARN_ERROR_OPTIONS env var) to specify a subset of warnings to treat as errors, via an include/exclude syntax that we're likely to reuse elsewhere.

The names of warnings are determined based on the names of WarnLevel events here: https://github.com/dbt-labs/dbt-core/blob/main/core/dbt/events/types.py

This is a configuration intended for intermediate/advanced users. Specific use cases we've seen requested in past: dbt-labs/dbt-core#4383, dbt-labs/dbt-core#6080
