Suppressing Cherrypy's output when running unit tests using Nose
cherrypy, nose, python
Solution
You did not mention which version of CherryPy you were using, but assuming 3.x based on what you are experiencing. I believe you need to add the following config option:
cherrypy.config.update({ "environment": "embedded" })
I was recently faced with the same issue when I was testing a CherryPy app with Twill.
Problem
I'm using cherrypy to implement a web server and I use nose to run my unit tests. However, there is a lot of debug noise that nose catches and prints to stdout, even when I use the --nologcapture, particularly cherrypy's logging messages. That makes the testing output quite difficult to read. I've thought that: ``` def setUp(self): cherrypy.config.update({ "server.logToScreen" : False }) cherrypy.config.update({'log.screen': False}) ``` together with --nologcapture option would suppress those messages, but apparently it does not. Anyone knows how to get rid of those messages and have a nice clean test output, please?
