Suppress Output

[Leighton365]

Hi all,
I was wondering, is it possible to suppress output from PnP commands.
I have tried | out-null and a number of other options [void] etc, but nothing appears to work.
My script has a menu system and as the user runs each option, I'd like it to show that section is in progress, rather than all of the command output. I am using PnP-TraceLog to capture information/errors and determine whether there was an error.
Just trying to make everything as neat as possible.
Thanks in advance!

Can you please give code samples? Out-null should do it søn. 11. dec. 2022 14.20 skrev Leighton365 ***@***.***>:

Hi AndersRask,
Thanks for the quick reply.

The one line i'd really like to suppress output on is:
$null = Invoke-PnPSiteTemplate -InputInstance $tmpLists -Connection $global:newsite -ErrorAction Silentlycontinue | Out-Null

It really screws up the terminal as it runs. It's in a foreach loop.

Having an assignment when using out-null does not make sense ;) In what way does it interfere? It should not send output to any stream (output, warning, verbose) søn. 11. dec. 2022 15.30 skrev Leighton365 ***@***.***>:

It didn't have an assignment at first, but I started throwing everything at it!
It doesn't seem to make a difference what I do, I still get the command output.

[AndersRask]

Can you be a bit more specific on what fails?

Examples :)

[AndersRask]

The only thing I can think of could interfer depending on how you made your script menu is the progress output to screen.

Try and disable that by setting progress preference to SilentlyContinue:

$progressPreference = 0

Here's an example of the output I get even piping to Out-Null

I'm sure it's not my menu, as the command always outputs to screen, even when I run it on it's own.

[AndersRask]

That is not output it is just process indicator. Setting process default as specified in my earlier message should disable this søn. 11. dec. 2022 16.09 skrev Leighton365 ***@***.***>:

Aha!
That's fixed it. Thank you so much!
