# Look ma, no warnings

**[YARA-X](https://daily.dev/sources/yara-x)** · 2 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

YARA-X 1.10.0 introduces a new command, yr fix warning, that automatically applies fixes for warnings that YARA-X already proposes in its warning messages, such as lowercase-vs-uppercase hash comparisons or inefficient hex pattern jumps. It works on single files or entire directories, accepts the same arguments as yr compile, but modifies source files directly instead of producing compiled output. Not every warning is auto-fixable, only those where a fix is already suggested. A companion command, yr fix encoding, is mentioned as coming in a future post. Warning suppression comments were previously added in YARA-X 1.4.0.

## Questions this post answers

### What does the yr fix warning command do in YARA-X 1.10.0?

It automatically applies fixes for warnings that YARA-X already proposes a fix for, modifying the source .yar files directly instead of producing a compiled output file. It accepts the same arguments as yr compile and can run against a single file or an entire directory. Not all warnings are auto-fixable, only those where YARA-X's warning message already suggests a concrete fix.

### How do I suppress a specific warning in YARA-X without fixing it?

YARA-X 1.4.0 introduced warning suppression comments, letting rule authors mark specific warnings to be ignored rather than fixed. This is useful for cases where the flagged pattern, such as an inefficient hex jump, is intentional and doesn't need to be changed.
