The default Nightwatch.js output consumes one line per passed test. For example,
✔ Testing if element <body> contains text 'lecture is so boring' (12ms)
✔ Testing if element <button[id=btn1]> is visible (6ms)
✔ Testing if element <button[id=btn]> is visible (10ms)
✔ Testing if element <#fill1> is visible (19ms)
✔ Testing if element <#fill2> is visible (18ms)
✔ Testing if element <#fill3> is visible (20ms)
Currently Nightwatch consumes far more of my screen than the rest of my build output combined. On the CLI on Linux, appending
|grep -v "✔"
to the command mostly alleviates that but has the disadvantage of stripping colored text (even with --color=always) when calling nightwatch from gulp. Is there a configuration option or command line parameter to minimize output and only show failed tests?
Ideally, if all tests pass, I would prefer just one line of output, but that may be asking too much. Using the grep above, this still results, which remains too much for my taste.

OK. 51 assertions passed. (3.498s)
I'd really just like it to say

Edit: Just to mark it as answered
You need to add detailed_output: false in your nightwatch config file.
