Every time I use sbt the first thing I do is set the log level to Error:
$ sbt
// ... sbt loads
[my_project] $ error
[my_project] $
Several places on SO and elsewhere recommend adding this to either your build.sbt or your sbt.boot.properties:
set logLevel in run := Level.Error
But I'm working in a shared project with many developers and I don't want to change the log level for everyone, just me! I do currently use SBT_OPTS to tailor sbt's memory usage on my machine, and this may potentially be an option but I can't find any guidance on what format to pass options via SBT_OPTS except for Java things like pass -Dkey=val directly to the java runtime and memory parameters like -Xmx8G.
sbt --help indicates that .sbtopts may also be a potential option:
.sbtopts if this file exists in the current directory, its contents
are prepended to the runner args
But as far as I can tell there are no method to specify command-line "runner args" that set the log level to Error, only for setting the log level to debug via --debug.
I'm a little stumped, I've identified at least two potential avenues (SBT_OPTS and .sbtopts) for passing machine-specific customization to sbt, but do either of these support setting the log level to Error? Or is there a third avenue I'm missing, maybe some elusive ~/.sbt, that I could use to set my machine's sbt log level to Error?
Put the following in $HOME/.sbt/1.0/global.sbt
logLevel := Level.Error
All available log level options are:
