  • Shell Script: For use in Shell Script functions, the same set of log levels exists and is accessed with a similar syntax: bbfatal, bberror, bbwarn, bbnote, bbplain, and bbdebug

These logging functions are very similar to each other but have inner differences, described as follows:

  • bb.fatal and bbfatal: These have the highest priority of logging messages as they print the message and terminate the processing. They cause the build to be interrupted.
  • bb.error and bberror: These are used to display an error but do not force the build to stop.
  • bb.warn and bbwarn: These are used to warn users about something.
