Disable all output in CI environment

[svenjacobs]

It would be nice to provide a configuration option to disable any console output by the plugin, like if the plugin was not applied to the project at all. The reason for my request is that in a CI environment, all these outputs slow down the builds :(

Of course I could conditionally add the plugin to the project based on certain system properties or so, however this would mean adjusting the project configuration at several places (e.g. where the plugin is applied and where it is configured). It would be much nicer if I just can do a

testlogger {
    silent = true
}

You can already do that today by using the following configuration:

testlogger {
    logLevel 'quiet'
}

I tried logLevel = LogLevel.QUIET (Kotlin DSL) and I still see all the output :(

Oh, maybe I haven't released it. I'll reopen it for now and look at it later.

Well, the property is already there but it seems to have no effect as you describe. Thanks for looking into this.

OK you can still do this using the current version. You need to set the log level for testlogger to be lower than the log level at which Gradle runs. The below are the Gradle log levels:

DEBUG
INFO
LIFECYCLE
WARN
QUIET
ERROR

By default Gradle uses LIFECYCLE. The plugin also logs at this level. So if you don't want any logs to appear you have two options:

1. Run Gradle using a level higher than LIFECYCLE on CI. This can be done by specifying either --warn or --quiet on the command line.
2. Run Gradle as normal but change testlogger configuration to use logLevel 'info' or logLevel 'debug'. You can also do this on the command line by passing a system property testLogger.logLevel=info or testlogger.logLevel=debug.

Hope that helps.

Thanks, that works!

FYI, there is a typo in your answer above: testLogger.loglevel should be testlogger.logLevel (no capital L in testlogger). So the correct command would be for example

./gradlew test -Dtestlogger.logLevel=info

Thanks. Fixed the typo :-)
