Django test settings
Recently I was setting up Sentry logging for an app I was working on, and needed to turn it off for tests, as it was sending logs to a remote server. Here’s how I ended up doing that:
import sys
LOGGING = {
'version': 1,
'disable_existing_loggers': True,
'root': {
'level': 'WARNING',
'handlers': ['sentry'],
},
# ... snip formatters ...
'handlers': {
'sentry': {
'level': 'DEBUG',
'class': 'raven.contrib.django.handlers.SentryHandler',
'formatter': 'verbose',
},
'console': {
'level': 'DEBUG',
'class': 'logging.StreamHandler',
'formatter': 'verbose',
},
},
# ... snip loggers ...
}
if 'test' in sys.argv:
# redirect default errors to NullHandler
LOGGING['root']['handlers'] = ['console']
LOGGING['handlers']['console']['class'] = 'logging.NullHandler'Now I don’t get logging messages in my test output when tests pass, and the tests don’t spam the logging server with messages.
