PIL outputs a lot of white noise to log file

Description

In testing branch 4.1.1_issues which contained the point release tags 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 I noticed that somewhere along the line some DEBUG option somewhere seems to have been turned on so that PIL now spews out a large amount of information to the log file every time a report is saved to PDF. There are no errors that I can tell. Not sure when this got introduced but it would be good to silence this white noise. NOTE: it also existed in the master branch so was not introduced in the 4.1.1_issues branch (nobody had happened to notice that particular new "feature" in master yet).

If we know how it was introduced in the first place (it did not use to do this) we could fix it at the source. Alternatively, it may have been introduced by the new logging system introduced at the Grenoble code camp. In this case it may just be necessary to edit the settings in sasview\logging.ini as Paul Kienzle suggests. He suggest that setting [logger_root] to level=WARNING might be sufficient.

An example of the verbose output is given below

  • Milestone changed from SasView 4.2.0 to SasView 4.3.0

  • Owner set to butler
  • Status changed from new to assigned

I've checked this with the ESS_GUI branch on a Mac and I'm not getting this verbose output. Has it been changed in the meantime?

comment:3 Changed 6 years ago by butler

  • Resolution set to wontfix
  • Status changed from assigned to closed

This is relevant to 4.x and the wx GUI. However it is probably not worth worrying about given the minimal impact and limited resources, particularly since the logger for ESS GUI does not seem to be doing this anyway. Will close as "won't fix"
