How to disable/ignore update warning when calling Lando from scripts?

[dsnopek]

So, we have a bunch of scripts that call lando and parse it's output, for example:

• lando info
• lando drush pm-list --format=json

However, when there's a new Lando update available, the update message gets put before the JSON and breaks parsing.

Is there a way to disable the warning entirely when running from a script? Or, if the message was output on stderr, then it could still be shown, but the stdout will be clean, parseable JSON.

Just encoutered this again because there was just a release a little bit ago :-)

@dsnopek at this point, nope, we don't have a way to disable this message without updating the project. Your use case is yet another indication that we need to look at cleaning up the output in some way though 🤔

I think the problem with pushing to stderr might be that CI processes etc might fail if there is output in stderr? I might be wrong on that.

I'm not aware of a CI platform that fails just because there's something output on stderr, most usually look at the exit code, but if there was such a CI platform you could just redirect stderr somewhere, for example:

lando info 2>/dev/null

You're probably right, my fear was likely unneeded 😆

I like the idea of dumping it to stderr as a way of seperating the output but pretty much always making sure it shows up (the main reason there really isn't a way to turn it off).

This has been changed in forthcoming RC2. The update warning will now be sent to stderr

Awesome, thanks!
