#510: Reduce default verbosity
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
Reporter: hinder | Owner: eschnett
Type: enhancement | Status: new
Priority: minor | Milestone:
Component: SimFactory | Version:
Keywords: |
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
SimFactory has an option --verbose which defaults to True. This has been
useful while SimFactory was in heavy development and there were frequent
problems and errors where the extra information provided by --verbose gave
useful context to debugging.
Now that SimFactory is in regular production use with fewer problems, and
the plan is to make it the default for the Einstein Toolkit, I propose to
change the verbosity to False. This makes the tool appear less
intimidating for new users and leads to an overall smoother, slicker
experience. All information should be available in the simulation log
file for debugging purposes if required.
The attached patch implements this. There are still some messages which
are output anyway, and these will need to be addressed one by one. Also,
the --verbose setting does not appear to propagate across remote
invocations of simfactory. But these are separate from the decision to
make --no-verbose the default.
