How to suppress Composer script echoing command executed?

If I specify a script in my composer.json file:

"scripts": {
  "test": "@php phpunit -c phpunit.xml"
}

Composer will echo the command when it is executed:

$user> composer test
> @php @php phpunit -c phpunit.xml
PHPUnit 8.0.1 by Sebastian Bergmann and contributors.
...

Is there anyway to suppress the echo'd command in Composer's output?

EDIT:

I'd like the output to look like this:

$user> composer test
PHPUnit 8.0.1 by Sebastian Bergmann and contributors.
...

It doesn't actually echo the command to STDOUT; it echos it to STDERR.

So

composer test 2> /dev/null

should give you clean output - see https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/Redirections.html

also, if you're parsing composers output using software (like php exec) they are often only reading STDOUT, and not receive exactly what you see on the command line.

You could selectively erase the output of the composer command directly:

composer test 2>&1 | grep -v '^> @php'

This will redirect the stderr in stdout and then remove all lines that starts with > @php (the > @php phpunit -c phpunit.xml line is outputted in stderr)

The final output should be:

$user> composer test 2>&1 | grep -v '^> @php'
PHPUnit 8.0.1 by Sebastian Bergmann and contributors.
...

Then you could put the command in a sh script to avoid typing it every time

#!/bin/sh
composer test 2>&1 | grep -v '^> @php'

On command line it shouldn't be possible. You can instead save the output into a file:

    "tests": [
        "@php phpunit -c phpunit.xml 2>&1 | tee COMPOSER-LOG",
        "@php -v 2>&1 | tee COMPOSER-LOG"
    ]
