I have some errors deliberately generated by a pre-build batch script via echo Error: blah and also Exit 1 Last night this provided a nice and tidy output to the error window. There seems to be an unavoidable error when you do Exit 1 (of there's an error in the Batch script) which is something like "The command [lists full batch script] exited with error code 1" Last night, this was reduced to 1 line, so not so inconvenient. However, today, it posts the full batch script in the error and I can find no way to manually or automatically collapse errors to one line. Images below:
How do I collapse (preferably automatically) the error list rows?

Hi @Steve Hall , welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum. As far as I know, it is not possible(Error List Window). I also checked on my side in VS but didn't find any option to collapse the error list rows. I suggest you open a suggestion ticket for this feature: Developer Community.

The feature seems available in Visual Studio 2022.
In your case, maybe try putting the script to a .bat or .cmd file, and invoke it using a single line. Maybe also add 'exit /b %ERRORLEVEL%' to the end of the file. Then the error message will contain a single line.
