configure verbosity in config file

[crimson-med]

I noticed we can run release-it --verbose and this will display the output of all hooks.
This is very practical as in my hooks I have some ssh commands that launch a script and thus I can see the output of scripts:

{
    "hooks": {
        "before:init": "echo 'Deploying XXX'",
        "after:bump": "git push origin master --follow-tags",
        "after:release": [
            "ssh -t -t user@dev 'sudo ./pack.sh v${version}'",
            "ssh -t -t user@prod 'sudo ./unpack.sh v${version} && . post-deploy.sh ${version}'",
            "echo Successfully released ${name} v${version} to ${repo.repository}.\n"
        ]
    }
  }

Is there any way to add --verbose to my: release-it.json so by default when I simply do the command release-it it will be with the verbose info

Did you try to add "verbose": true? Otherwise it's a bug :)

[crimson-med]

Yes I also tried:

{
    "verbose": true,
    "hooks": {
        "before:init": "echo 'Deploying XXX'",
        "after:bump": "git push origin master --follow-tags",
        "after:release": [
            "ssh -t -t user@dev 'sudo ./pack.sh v${version}'",
            "ssh -t -t user@prod 'sudo ./unpack.sh v${version} && . post-deploy.sh ${version}'",
            "echo Successfully released ${name} v${version} to ${repo.repository}.\n"
        ]
    }

OK, clear. On *nix you could add a function or alias for this, though, for example:

alias release="release-it --verbose"

[crimson-med]

Seeing as we use release-it to make the deployment easier for multiple contributors of the project I wouldn't want to ask everyone to add an alias. Is this a confirmed bug that "verbose": true does not change anything or is it a pending feature?

[webpro]

I think everything is working fine actually. Which version of release-it are you using?

• "verbose": true - log hooks commands and their output
• "verbose": 2 - log all (hooks + internal) commands and their output

Verified that this also works from a local .release-it.json config file.

I will updated the docs for raising the verbosity level from a config file.

my current version is 13.6.2 and during post creation was 13.6.1

As of 13.6.2 this is now working

The 13.6.x releases contain no related changes, but I'm happy it's working for you now.
