[bug] Unexpected message output contaminating conan inspect --raw

We’re using conan inspect --raw ... to programmatically retrieve values from a conanfile. This used to work fine but started to fail some time ago. After some investigation I found that the output now contains an extra message before the line with the actual value:

Removing temporary .tgz files, they are stored in a different location now
8.0.0

This seems to be some kind of informational message regarding migration of .tgz files. I guess it’s usually fine to print this, but in commands like conan inspect which are likely to be used for programmatic evaluation I’d recommend suppressing it.

@franramirez688 I’ve already implemented that workaround in our pipeline. @memsharded I agree that using the json output would be the more powerful option, but in our case we’re just trying to read the version, so we would then need a JSON parser in the pipeline to parse the single value from the JSON struct or use a regex. Is the extra message gone in the --json case?

A suggestion, the conan inspect contains a --json argument for this purpose: programmatic access. Is there any specific reason why you are not using the json output? It would be way mor convenient than parsing the stdout unstructured output
