Disable output on the console

[dovogt]

When you run Checkstyle, PMD, and Spotbugs, the messages are output to the console. Is it possible to suppress the messages? The logfiles become very big. That's why I would like to activate it.

Console output: checkstyle

Yes, of course:

quality.consoleReporting = false

Hello, I have it active. The logs will still be displayed

[xvik]

What are your gradle and quality plugin versions? Is it multi-module project (maybe quality.consoleReporting = false applied not to all modules)?

And the picture above slightly confuses me: do you disable it in build.gradle (with quality.consoleReporting = false) or somewhere in code? (just to be sure)

I tried on gradle 4.8 and quality plugin 3.1.1 and its working.

I have only one project. It may be that the high-priority warnings are still output to the console? The problem I have since Gradle 3. * Currently I use gradle 4.10.2 and quality plugin 3.2.0

`quality { /**

• When disabled, quality plugins will not be registered automatically (according to sources).

  // Tools versions checkstyleVersion = '8.12' spotbugsVersion = '3.1.8' pmdVersion = '6.7.0'

Mmm, I think I got your situation. If this is exact extract from your build file then its incorrect (and it's my bad).

Before, I put part of source code (extension class) into the documentation (and seems you copy pasted it from old doc). New doc is correct.

Look, for example,

quality {
   boolean autoRegistration = true
}

For gradle is local variable declaration, which doesn't actually do anything, and

quality {
   autoRegistration = true
}

is quality extension configuration (changing it's value).

So please remove all boolean in your config so only property names remain (like in docs) and consoleReporting = false will work correctly.

Sorry for misguiding.

Oh sorry, I did not see that. Now it works :-) Thank you
