This is a discussion for https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/31681 - the feature would be useful to me and seems like something generally useful as well since it is implemented in the testing framework. The closing comment mentions that copying a documentation page into command output isn't valuable. That isn't what I meant to suggest so I will attempt to explain more clearly below:
It would be helpful if `checks` would output what checks it is running. Currently you don't actually know if a check runs or not. Perhaps it isn't registered correctly? Or it was excluded by mistake when you expected it to run? I like to keep this information around in build history for quick inspection purposes as needed. For example, when running a check it would be nice to (optionally) see something of the form: - path.to.my.checkA ... ok - path.to.my.checkB ... ERROR - path.to.my.checkC ... ok - path.to.my.checkD ... WARN System check ran 100 checks and identified 2 issues (0 silenced). It would be helpful if the `checks` verbosity flag worked in similar fashion to the testing framework. I am thinking that `-v 1` or unspecified would maintain the current behavior. `-v 2` outputs all checks run not under the django namespace (due to the comment in the ticket about not repeating a documentation page). And `-v 3` outputs all checks. It might also be helpful to add a verbosity level that only prints checks under the current working directory (i.e. project specific checks) but this might be difficult to determine correctly based on project layout and installation method. If the general consensus likes the feature and the issue can be re-opened, I will investigate. The ticket says it would not be feasible to output this information. I am assuming (since they are run generically via a registration approach) that it should be straightforward to log the dotted path of the check.
