Disable logger in Rails & Rspec
Parts of my Rails code have a good portion of logging code, because I want to observe it’s behavior closely in the real world. I will probably remove the logging code, once I’m confident enough with the code
But during testing these log lines distract me from the test results and hide other stuff. So I decided it is better to disable it. I did this by adding the following code to /config/environments/test.rb
# disable logger
class EmptyLogger < StringIO
def write(input)
# do nothing
end
end
config.logger = Logger.new(EmptyLogger.new)
This writes all log messages to a StringIO object, which does nothing with it …
