library1.0.1jsnpmunverified

A silence formatter plugin for the hydro test framework (v1.0.1). Suppresses test output, useful for generating coverage reports or running tests in CI where verbose logs are unwanted. Part of the hydro ecosystem, it is automatically bundled with hydro and does not require separate installation. Last updated in 2013, no longer actively maintained, but still functional for projects using hydro 0.x.

Common errors & fixes
Error: Cannot find module 'hydro-silent'

fix
Install hydro: npm install hydro --save-dev
TypeError: hydro.use is not a function
Trying to use hydro-silent as a plugin via hydro.use(), but it's meant to be set as a formatter.
fix
Use hydro.set('formatter', 'hydro-silent') instead of hydro.use().
Error: hydro-silent is not a valid formatter
The hydro version is 1.x or newer, which does not support hydro-silent.
fix
Use an older version of hydro (0.x) or use a different formatter compatible with hydro 1.x.
