How to disable debug logging?

[Massukio]

I was developing python project and the program has its own logging.

But somehow the robotcode lsp prints the debug log into my program logs like the following.

2025-06-18 15:25:41,210 - [CRITICAL] - robotcode.language_server.common.parts.diagnostics.DiagnosticsProtocolPart - End analyzing workspace for 2 documents took 0.0000 seconds

Is there a way I can disable these logs to be printed?

I'm not sure I understand your situation completely.

To better assist you, could you please provide some additional information:

• Are you using/starting the RobotCode language server or the RobotCode analyzer in your project?
• What IDE/Editor are you using?
• Where exactly are you finding these logs?
• Where do you expect to find your logs instead?

A bit more context would be helpful.

These logs should normally only appear in the process where RobotCode is being executed. RobotCode uses Python's standard logging functionality, so you can disable these logs with the appropriate Python logging configuration. However, I don't have a specific example readily available at the moment.

I am working on a robotframework library, and when executing the robot file to run the test, the following logs will keep printing in my debug.log.

When do you configure your logger?

I believe these messages end up in your log when the RobotCode Language Server tries to analyze your library. That should really only happen when the Language Server is initialized. If you start a test without the IDE, there shouldn’t be any log messages from the Language Server.

That would mean you’re setting up your log configuration/initialization already in the constructor or during the initialization of your library. The library initializer, i.e. your library’s __init__, is also called when RobotCode analyzes the library. Here you need to be careful to distinguish between the code needed for analyzing the library and the code that runs only at runtime. If the library is only being analyzed, you don’t need to initialize the logger. Take a look here in the Robot Framework documentation: detecting-is-robot-framework-running

[Massukio]

I’ll need to find my own solution for this, since Robot Framework isn’t the only entry point — my project also supports running scripts purely with Python.

Back to the original question — is there an option or setting to disable debug logging?

Back to the original question — is there an option or setting to disable debug logging?

No. There is no switch or anything to disable logging; there’s only a switch to enable it. And enabling logging is just setting the basic logging config level. Still, I’m curious how you managed to get RobotCode messages appearing for you when you’re not using RobotCode in your code.

Sorry, was a little bit busy the last time. Did you find a solution?
