Disable Rendering source page info messages

[mhussein]

We recently updated from 1.0.5 to 1.3.5 and started seeing a lot of messages in the log, for example

INFO    -  [macros] - Rendering source page: index.md
INFO    -  [macros] - Rendering source page: apis.md
INFO    -  [macros] - Rendering source page: docs.md
INFO    -  [macros] - Rendering source page: tags.md
...
...

Is there a way to suppress those log messages?

Welcome to this project and thank you!

Good question. We could perhaps downgrade some of these messages as DEBUG? 🤔

Aside of these, which are the ones you find annoying?

[mhussein]

my 2c

The "Macros arguments" one feels like Debug, but it is useful, so maybe keep it as INFO, similar to the "Loading yaml file" ones.

The "Configuring the macros environment..." and "End of environment config" are useless outside debug env. Those can go.

The "config [variables|macros|filters] again feels like debug, but they are useful to discover things you can do that you may not be aware of.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll have a look at this.

For the context, I introduced a new testing framework (see #244), so I went a little overboard. 🙂

In reality, the testing framework relies minimally on the log, except for reading the variables, filters and macros (but these are DEBUG entries, not INFO).

This is indeed really annoying. Waiting for that fix as well.

[fralau]

@michsien104 It's good to know. 🙂

[mark-bozeman]

A fix would be great.

[fralau]

@mhussein , @michsien104, @mark-bozeman Fixed.

Could I ask you to test whether it's fine for you now?

[mhussein]

@fralau Thanks a lot.

1. I installed 1.3.5, ran mkdocs serve, verified that I get a ton of messages from the macros plugin.
2. Installed 1.3.6, ran mkdocs serve again, and verified that the extra messages are no longer there.

I still get those log messages, which I think is perfectly fine:

INFO    -  [macros] - Loading yaml file: C:\macros/dictionary.yaml
INFO    -  [macros] - No default module `main` found
INFO    -  [macros] - Config variables: ['extra', 'config', 'environment', 'plugin', 'git', 'hide', 'macros', 'filters', 'filters_builtin']
INFO    -  [macros] - Config macros: ['context', 'macros_info', 'now', 'fix_url']
INFO    -  [macros] - Config filters: ['pretty', 'relative_url']
