Can someone suggest how to get rid of these warnings ?

Hi, I don't think you can get rid of those warnings.

[kamraanchal]

@jrobinso How can i get rid for these warnings . Any suggestions ?

[jrobinso]

@kamraanchal I've already replied, did you miss it? No, I don't have any suggestion, AFAIK you can't get rid of them. What issue are they causing?

[kamraanchal]

@jrobinso The issue is that our customers are asking us the reason for these warnings.
Also, I did not miss your reply. As your reply said that Hi, I don't think you can't get rid of those warnings.
To me it meant that one can get rid of those warnings.

[jrobinso]

I see, sorry about that. Please tell your customers they can ignore these warnings. They will have no impact no IGV's functionality.

[kamraanchal]

@jrobinso Thank you for the information. We will communicate the same.

@jrobinso 🤔 When I install a tool according to its installation instructions and use it according to its usage instructions and it starts right away with nine warnings, then I'd see this either as a (although lesser) bug in the software, the installation instructions or the usage instructions.
Also it would be interesting to know from the developer side, what the reason for these warnings is and why we can't get rid of them
(I am also involved in the maintenance of the affected software installation mentioned by the OP)

[jrobinso]

@fthommen fair enough, consider it a lesser bug then. I will reopen it but can't give any ETAs at this time.
