Extra stderr output when json is piped to file about autocannon HOT 6 CLOSED

Should I remove the stderr output when json is being output?

Sorry, I'm missing a bit. What is the expected behavior you need @bzoz?

With -j provided I would expect to get only json and no other output.

We changed this recently because:

autocannon -j localhost:3000 > out

Will display a progress bar, and all the rest of the human readable output.
It's really handy when you are executing this in a Jenkins job, and you want to display both some human readable result for quick-consumption, and store the data somewhere.

You can remove the non-json output by passing the -n switch.
Maybe we should make that clearer in the docs.

This does not break anything for me, it is just a nit.

Anyhow - adding -n still produces summary (table with Latency, Req/Sec and Bytes/Sec) to the stderr.

Let me close this, and let's make sure -n does not print anything.
