My personal preference would be (but this is overall, not just for hooks): cordova (no flags): gives minimal stage info – preparing blah, compiling foo, running after_prepare hook, etc. I would only have the “running after_prepare hook” if there actually *is* an after_prepare hook to run.
cordova (—verbose or -d): full output of all scripts as well as stage info above. cordova (—silent or -s): completely silent unless there is an error. This would be best for CI or build slave environments where you only want to be notified if something goes wrong On 14 June 2014 at 7:06:05, Michal Mocny ([email protected]) wrote: Landed the change to make this verbose only since the current behaviour is certainly not a great default. We can add subsequent improvements to how we report on hooks firing as need arises (though honestly no one complained about this so far, perhaps hooks are not all that commonly used).
