Are you just using this for yourself? If so, a simple
``` (let ((asdf:*compile-file-failure-behaviour* :warn)) (asdf:load-system "my system")) ```
will suffice.
Alternatively, you could put something like this in the `.asd` file:
``` (defmethod operate :around ((operation load-op) (system (asdf:find-system "my-system"))) (let ((asdf:*compile-file-failure-behaviour* :warn)) (call-next-method))) ```
The above most emphatically *has not been tested*, so it might be wrong.
I *think* if the top-level operation you use is `load-op`, this should work. Alternatively, you might want to replace `(operation load-op)` with just `(operation operation)` (and add a `(declare (ignorable operation))`)

As has been discussed here over the years, asdf:*compile-file-failure-behaviour* is :warn on most platforms, but it is notoriously :error on #+sbcl. So what would you do if you wanted to change asdf:*compile-file-failure-behaviour* to be :warn on #+SBCL? How would you recommend to change it. Where?
I don't want to really have to impose an init file on everyone. Also, I don't really want to necessarily make this global across every use of ASDF, but let's say I just want it to apply to one main system and all subsystems loaded as part of this.
I cannot think of anything better than a top-level setq in the .asd file of the system, something like this?
#+sbcl (setq asdf:*compile-file-failure-behaviour* :warn)
What else can one do that's any better?
Maybe there's a less crude way, like something like an around method that wraps around the compile/load. I'm really just barely a novice user, so I'm sorry this if this is such a naive question. If there's a simple example one could provide or point me to that does this, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks,
