Clean JSON output #15

Open zooba opened 1 year ago

zooba commented 1 year ago

Currently the stdout from the process is mixed between messages and JSON, which means you can't do commands like this (in Powershell):

$p = ConvertFrom-Json (msstore submission get $product_id)

(Adding -v, which I prefer to do in CI builds, only makes it worse.)

Ideally, messages would be sent to stderr and only JSON to stdout, or alternatively have a mode that only sends JSON unless an error occurs.

This is something we've struggled and decided against when we started the project, but it is something we could change. I'm investigating and it seems quite straightforward. A lot of changes since we would need to move away from assuming everything is out on StdOut, but doable.
