How to set verbosity in configuration file?

[elchenberg]

Is there a way to set the verbosity in a configuration file?

I tried <arg value="v"/> (and vv and vvv) but it is ignored.

I tried <arg value="-v"/> (and -vv and -vvv) but I get the error ERROR: option "--v" not known.

I tried <arg name="v"/> (and vv and vvv) but I get the error ERROR: option "--v" not known.

I tried <arg name="verbose"/> knowing that this option does not exist and I get the error ERROR: option "--verbose" not known.

Not as far as I know. This is documented as such as well:

 <!--
    You can hard-code command line values into your custom standard.
    Note that this does not work for the command line values:
    -v[v][v], -l, -d, --sniffs and --standard
    
    The following tags are equivalent to the command line arguments:
    --extensions=php,inc --report=summary --colors -sp
 -->
 <arg name="extensions" value="php,inc" />
 <arg name="report" value="summary"/>
 <arg name="colors"/>
 <arg value="sp"/>

Out of curiousity: why would you want to always run in verbose mode ? It's intended as a debugging feature, not for standard use.
