Close compilation/upload error notifications on subsequent actions

[per1234]

Describe the request

Automatically close compilation and upload error notifications when a subsequent compilation or upload is triggered.

🙂 The user will only be presented with relevant notifications.

Describe the current behavior

The Arduino IDE opens a notification when compilation or upload of a sketch fails. This is an excellent way of supplementing the more verbose and cryptic error messages shown in the "Output" view.

Although very valuable in the time after a failed compilation or upload, this notification is no longer relevant when a subsequent compilation/upload is triggered, since at that point the user is only interested in what the result will be of the current operation.

Currently, the notifications of errors from previous compilations/uploads are retained until the user manually closes them, which some might not think to do.

1. Create a sketch that will fail to compile:

   #error
   void setup() {}
   void loop() {}

2. Select Sketch > Verify/Compile from the Arduino IDE menus.

3. Wait for compilation to finish.
   🙂 A notification clearly communicates that there was a compilation error:

   ❌ Compilation error: #error

4. Fix the problem with the sketch:

   void setup() {}
   void loop() {}

5. Select Sketch > Verify/Compile from the Arduino IDE menus.

6. Wait for compilation to finish.
   There are now two notifications, shown in this order:

   ⓘ Done Compiling

   ❌ Compilation error: #error

The "Done Compiling" notification does not clearly indicate a successful result. It also disappears after 3 seconds while the "Compilation error" notification is persistent.

🙁 It may not be clear to the user that the current compilation or upload was successful.

This is what the IDE looks like at the completion of a successful upload following some expected struggles:

Arduino IDE version

2.0.0-rc8-snapshot-1073c3f

Operating system

Windows

Operating system version
