Question

Here’s the problem: When I spin up an expressjs 3.x server, I would like to do console.log to look into certain variables. However, that output gets buried under text from Jade compiler output.

I tried passing this option, but it didn’t work:

app.set("view options", {
  compileDebug: false
});

Any ideas on how I can make Jade output less info when compiling?

Edit:

After accepting the answer below I discovered the solution which I needed. Namely, configuring express.logger which is based on connect-logger (or exactly the same?).

Find the line in your app.js which says

app.use(express.logger("dev"));

And change it to

app.use(express.logger("tiny"));

Voila! An output which makes it easier to see your console.log output for instance.

Take a look at the migration guide here https://github.com/visionmedia/express/wiki/Migrating-from-2.x-to-3.x

Has a section on view option changes. If you want to set the compiler debug to false you would do so thusly:

app.locals.compileDebug = false
