Quiet Recipes
A recipe name may be prefixed with @ to invert the meaning of @ before each
line:
@quiet:
echo hello
echo goodbye
@# all done!
Now only the lines starting with @ will be echoed:
$ just quiet
hello
goodbye
# all done!
All recipes in a Justfile can be made quiet with set quiet:
set quiet
foo:
echo "This is quiet"
@foo2:
echo "This is also quiet"
The [no-quiet] attribute overrides this setting:
set quiet
foo:
echo "This is quiet"
[no-quiet]
foo2:
echo "This is not quiet"
Shebang recipes are quiet by default:
foo:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
echo 'Foo!'
$ just foo
Foo!
Adding @ to a shebang recipe name makes just print the recipe before
executing it:
@bar:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
echo 'Bar!'
$ just bar
#!/usr/bin/env bash
echo 'Bar!'
Bar!
just normally prints error messages when a recipe line fails. These error
messages can be suppressed using the [no-exit-message]1.7.0
attribute. You may find this especially useful with a recipe that wraps a tool:
git *args:
@git {{args}}
$ just git status
fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
error: Recipe `git` failed on line 2 with exit code 128
Add the attribute to suppress the exit error message when the tool exits with a non-zero code:
[no-exit-message]
git *args:
@git {{args}}
$ just git status
fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
