How to be less verbose on cdk diff?

[nomike]

I maintain a CI/CD pipeline on a gitlab server which runs cdk diff`` on a quite large repository. The idea is, that people instantly see what effect their code change has. Our code is written as python classes for each resource type (e.g. Route53.AliasRecord, ClourFront.Distribution, etc.) and stacks are created by creating .json` files with parameters in it.

Though everyone using the repository has some level of tech-savviness, not all of them are familiar with programming or the intricacies of AWS and most people just work with the .json files, whereas the inner workings are maintained by us, the CloudOps team.

I thus want the diff to only show relevant changes.

I've posted a feature request ages ago which resulted in someone more familiar with the aws-cdk source code than I am adding a "--quit" flag (thanks a lot for that), which was implemented after a few months, It had a major bug, which was fixed a year after I filed a bug report, and now that it is finally working, it no longer helps me that much, as aws-cdk outputs a lot more to the terminal nowadays.

So the diff currently looks like this:

$ cdk diff --concurrency=20 --quiet use1-pr-customer-api-public-route53-aliasrecord

✨  Number of stacks with differences: 3

I kind a get why these "InstallLatestAwsSdk was not specified" warnings are there.

I never understood what value those "No routeTableId was provided to the subnet at 'euw1-pr-customer-api-tmp-alb-alb/subnet-0'. Attempting to read its .routeTable.routeTableId will return null/undefined." warnings try to tell me.

I didn't provide a routeTableId. So if I try to read the routeTableId it will be undefined. Sounds a bit like Captain Obvious.

And then there's all the "start: Building", "success: Built", "start: Publishing", "success: published" and "Hold on while we create a read-only change set" messages.

I fear that important stuff will drown in this level of verbosity and would like a way to control that level.

Is there any way I can get rid of at list some of these messages?

• The routeTable thingy is redundant in my opinion and shouldn't be there in the first place.
• I'm aware of the --no-change-set option, but I'm intentionally not using it. So I'd like to suppress that message.
• And I don't care about those assets building and uploading thingies as well.

Any ideas?

Hi @nomike , thanks for getting request for the -quiet flag and finding a bug thereafter. Really appreciate your insights.

Looks like, currently we don't have any other feature that could customise the difference you want to see in the output for the command. However it might be a good feature request if you would like to create one with elaborating your use case and sharing details.

Hi, happy new year everyone!
Are we going somewhere with this? I too am a little annoyed at all the lines about asset building, especially the lambda ones showing the different sizes (e.g.

They take up more than half of cdk diff output. It's informative when there is something you can do about it, but when it's already as lean as it can be it's just noise.

Thanks!
