Repro

These invocations all show the same output pretty:

npx biome format --log-kind=compact .
npx biome format --log-kind=pretty .
npx biome format --log-kind=json .

That's not a formatting issue, that option is available to all commands.

Could you at least share some screenshots, please? Or video. We don't need a playground

I wasn't sure how to categorize global options.

Sure:

[ematipico]

You have to not enabled logging.

What you see on screen are diagnostics. Logs are different. Use --log-kind=info to enable logs up to info kind.

[Hookyns]

So, are there any options to change the diagnostics format?

When used in git hooks, IDEs show output usually in small pop-up windows. I'd like to see something like: "There are 20 errors in 6 files." or list of files with errors; something compact.

No, not yet. I've done some preliminary work though

I'm not sure what you are referring to. But if you have some idea, I suggest creating a GitHub discussion

[ematipico]

I'm going to close the issue. OP hasn't replied in a while, and it seems he misunderstood the issue

[jschaf]

To close the loop, what I'm really after is structured data of diagnostics as JSON or a similar format. I'd like to wrap Biome with our internal command-line tool to make linting a single command across all languages we support (Go, SQL, protobuf, and a few others)

What I want to do is:

 # Run linters for all supported languages in our repo, including biome.
