Silencing errors on failures for npm run-script

Question

When you run npm test and it fails, you get the test outputs + a single error message, like so:

npm ERR! Test failed.  See above for more details.
<         


        

Answer 1

Use the npm run --silent option:

$ npm run --silent test

Even less typing if you define a shell alias:

$ alias run='npm run --silent'
$ run test
