|
|
<p>The <code>npm</code> CLI has various mechanisms for showing different levels of information back to end-users for certain commands, configurations & environments.</p>
|
|
<h3 id="setting-log-file-location">Setting Log File Location</h3>
|
|
<p>All logs are written to a debug log, with the path to that file printed if the execution of a command fails.</p>
|
|
<p>The default location of the logs directory is a directory named <code>_logs</code> inside the npm cache. This can be changed with the <code>logs-dir</code> config option.</p>
|
|
<p>For example, if you wanted to write all your logs to the current working directory, you could run: <code>npm install --logs-dir=.</code>. This is especially helpful in debugging a specific <code>npm</code> issue as you can run
|
|
a command multiple times with different config values and then diff all the log files.</p>
|
|
<p>Log files will be removed from the <code>logs-dir</code> when the number of log files exceeds <code>logs-max</code>, with the oldest logs being deleted first.</p>
|
|
<p>To turn off logs completely set <code>--logs-max=0</code>.</p>
|
|
<h3 id="setting-log-levels">Setting Log Levels</h3>
|
|
<h4 id="loglevel"><code>loglevel</code></h4>
|
|
<p><code>loglevel</code> is a global argument/config that can be set to determine the type of information to be displayed.</p>
|
|
<p>The default value of <code>loglevel</code> is <code>"notice"</code> but there are several levels/types of logs available, including:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><code>"silent"</code></li>
|
|
<li><code>"error"</code></li>
|
|
<li><code>"warn"</code></li>
|
|
<li><code>"notice"</code></li>
|
|
<li><code>"http"</code></li>
|
|
<li><code>"info"</code></li>
|
|
<li><code>"verbose"</code></li>
|
|
<li><code>"silly"</code></li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>All logs pertaining to a level proceeding the current setting will be shown.</p>
|
|
<h5 id="aliases">Aliases</h5>
|
|
<p>The log levels listed above have various corresponding aliases, including:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><code>-d</code>: <code>--loglevel info</code></li>
|
|
<li><code>--dd</code>: <code>--loglevel verbose</code></li>
|
|
<li><code>--verbose</code>: <code>--loglevel verbose</code></li>
|
|
<li><code>--ddd</code>: <code>--loglevel silly</code></li>
|
|
<li><code>-q</code>: <code>--loglevel warn</code></li>
|
|
<li><code>--quiet</code>: <code>--loglevel warn</code></li>
|
|
<li><code>-s</code>: <code>--loglevel silent</code></li>
|
|
<li><code>--silent</code>: <code>--loglevel silent</code></li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<h4 id="foreground-scripts"><code>foreground-scripts</code></h4>
|
|
<p>The <code>npm</code> CLI began hiding the output of lifecycle scripts for <code>npm install</code> as of <code>v7</code>. Notably, this means you will not see logs/output from packages that may be using "install scripts" to display information back to you or from your own project's scripts defined in <code>package.json</code>. If you'd like to change this behavior & log this output you can set <code>foreground-scripts</code> to <code>true</code>.</p>
|
|
<h3 id="timing-information">Timing Information</h3>
|
|
<p>The <a href="../using-npm/config#timing.html"><code>--timing</code> config</a> can be set which does a few
|
|
things:</p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Always shows the full path to the debug log regardless of command exit status</li>
|
|
<li>Write timing information to a process specific timing file in the cache or <code>logs-dir</code></li>
|
|
<li>Output timing information to the terminal</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<p>This file contains a <code>timers</code> object where the keys are an identifier for the
|
|
portion of the process being timed and the value is the number of milliseconds it took to complete.</p>
|
|
<p>Sometimes it is helpful to get timing information without outputting anything to the terminal. For
|
|
example, the performance might be affected by writing to the terminal. In this case you can use
|
|
<code>--timing --silent</code> which will still write the timing file, but not output anything to the terminal
|
|
while running.</p>
|
|
<h3 id="registry-response-headers">Registry Response Headers</h3>
|
|
<h4 id="npm-notice"><code>npm-notice</code></h4>
|
|
<p>The <code>npm</code> CLI reads from & logs any <code>npm-notice</code> headers that are returned from the configured registry. This mechanism can be used by third-party registries to provide useful information when network-dependent requests occur.</p>
|
|
<p>This header is not cached, and will not be logged if the request is served from the cache.</p>
|
|
<h3 id="logs-and-sensitive-information">Logs and Sensitive Information</h3>
|
|
<p>The <code>npm</code> CLI makes a best effort to redact the following from terminal output and log files:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Passwords inside basic auth URLs</li>
|
|
<li>npm tokens</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>However, this behavior should not be relied on to keep all possible sensitive information redacted. If you are concerned about secrets in your log file or terminal output, you can use <code>--loglevel=silent</code> and <code>--logs-max=0</code> to ensure no logs are written to your terminal or filesystem.</p>
