Ignore Future Alerts

ws_ignore_alerts.py is a utility for automated ignoring alerts in the newly created WS project, which is a version of the same customer's product, according to the previously ignored alerts in the baseline WS project. Once a new UA scan has finished, and a new project has been created, the utility can be launched as part of the pipeline for automated ignoring alerts. There are three options for use:

• using a baseline project token and destination project name defined by the user - baselineProjectToken and destProjectName (optional: destProjectVersion). Might work with different products.
• using a baseline project token and destination project token defined by the user - baselineProjectToken and destProjectToken. Might work with different products.
• using the default behavior, without providing baseline and destination projects' data. In this case, the destination project is a latest project of the certain product and baseline project is one before the latest project of the same product. Only works within a certain product. The ignored alerts will be pulled from the baseline project, and the same alerts will be ignored in the destination project.
