Home: NuGet -verbosity quiet doesn't show errors and warnings

[davkean]

Due to the large amount output of NuGet restore -verbosity normal blowing through our output buffer on our Roslyn Jenkins server, we've needed to reduce the verbosity to quiet.

NuGet, however, unlike most command-line tools doesn't output errors/warnings in quiet mode, so either you need to live with the noise of normal or put up with not knowing when something went wrong.

I'm only seeing very few places in the nuget.exe code base where we check the verbosity flag before logging warnings.

@davkean Do you have any specific examples of warning/error messages you no longer see when running nuget with -verbosity quiet? It might help me trace the code path that could be affected.

The nuget.exe console writes warnings to stdout and errors to stderr. I'd assume it does, but are you 100% that Jenkins picks these up correctly? Does it also happen outside of Jenkins?

By default, all the info messages are shown along with errors and warnings. Because, default Verbosity is normal. However, when '-Verbosity Quiet' is used, no messages are shown. This is the bug.

Sample snapshot is shared below based on the 'init' command.

After a fix, it will look like the following. Note that warning messages are shown with Verbosity as Quiet.

I know that this bug is closed... but when using a batch file to upload several files...the errors appears in other output stream...

for instance I have this inside a bat:
for /f %%f in ('dir /B NugetsServer\Packages\*.nupkg') do nuget push NugetsServer\Packages\%%f -Source PackageFeedUrl -ApiKey FeedApiKey -ConfigFile Nuget.Config

If i run the .bat like this:
uploadpackages.bat > results.txt
i get the following:

While in the .txt i don't have the error message...

So it's a little frustrating to see which packages failed and which one didnt...

Thanks @davkean. After seeing the code, i see that is writing to the error output.
So the proper command line is:
.\uploadpackages.bat > UploadResults2.txt 2>&1

Thanks and sorry for bothering you!
