When I am running approval tests some debug output from approval test gets to my logs. It looks like 2/15/2016 1:58:48 PM ~000002ms Variable: approvalFrame = '' 2/15/2016 1:58:48 PM ~000025ms Variable: approvalFrame = '' 2/15/2016 1:58:48 PM ~000003ms Variable: approvalFrame = '' 2/15/2016 1:58:48 PM ~000002ms Variable: approvalFrame = '......

Is there any way to hide it from logs?

Thanks.

ApprovalTests uses the SimpleLogger for logging. If you set it to null it won't log to your files. If you want to use the SimpleLogger afterwards, reset it.

 ApprovalUtilities.SimpleLogger.Logger.Writer = NullWriter.Instance;

To reset 

Logger.Writer = new MultiWriter(new ConsoleWriter(),new DebugerWriter());

There are lot's of other writers of course and you can make your own composites or very own versions as well.

Happy Testing!

  • @llewellyn_falco thanks -- one more question then. Where is the best place to put that code? Kind of Approvals bootstrapper or something? – the_joric Feb 16 '16 at 13:47

    good question. I usually have a sort of setup thing / config thing for most of my projects. If it's bothersome you could make a base test class, or sneak it into a custom reporter initializer. There isn't really a approvals bootstrapper at the moment. – llewellyn falco Dec 12 '16 at 16:48
