Could we possibly get an option to hide bandit output on success? It will always print to stdout regardless of the process's exit code.

Would you like to create an issue for it on GitHub? https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/issues That way it’ll be easier to track and plan etc. 🙂

That's a good idea! Not very difficult to implement either If you'd be interested in contributing, I'd be happy to add instructions to that issue. I think it'd take no more than 20 lines or so (including a test). Either way, I agree with Andreas on creating an issue. -- Also it would be good to double check if Bandit already has a quiet option

There is prior art with the

--output

flag in the

test

goal

I think per-linter. Linter output is very helpful with Black for example. Super noisy with Bandit

Ah, great! Does --quiet silence error cases too much tho?

It does the correct thing with

--quiet

there is an option for

--silent

that will hide the errors.

Okay, great! Perhaps a "tip" toolbox on https://www.pantsbuild.org/v2.7/docs/python-linters-and-formatters? Or perhaps we've graduated to the point that we should have a section on that page like "Tool specific notes", and a subsection on Bandit. Wdyt?
