aws s3 --quiet should not suppress errors

[tomasaschan]

This command runs silently:

$ aws s3 cp foo.zip s3://bar-bucket/foo.zip --quiet
$

while this one doesn't:

$ aws s3 cp foo.zip s3://bar-bucket/foo.zip
upload failed: foo.zip to s3://bar-bucket/foo.zip An error occurred (AccessDenied) when calling the CreateMultipartUpload operation: Access Denied
$

The only difference is the --quiet option, which I use to suppress undesired progress output (related to #519?) when using this in a script, but it's obviously quite unhelpful that the output about errors is suppressed - it took me quite some troubleshooting to realize this is why things that happened after, relying on this upload, did not work.

Given your use case --only-show-errors might work better for you:

--only-show-errors (boolean) Only errors and warnings are displayed. All other output is suppressed

@cwgem thanks, that seems to be exactly what i'm looking for!

As per today, Unknown options: --only-show-errors

[dennisvang]

there's also --no-progress:

File transfer progress is not displayed. This flag is only applied when the quiet and only-show-errors flags are not provided.
