Hide warnings in capybara feature specs?

[johnrees]

If I have this feature spec spec/features/brands/adding_a_brand.rb

require 'spec_helper'

feature "Adding a brand" do

  scenario "as a visitor" do
    visit new_brand_path
    expect(page.status_code).to eq(403)
  end

end

It will pass, but I will get the following WARN message in my logs

Adding a brand
W, [2013-12-01T20:37:55.842741 #45068]  WARN -- :   is not authorized to create this resource: #<Brand:0x007fc2f7c0d980>
  as a visitor

Is there a way to suppress these warnings?

@johnrees - Authority lets you give it a logger object and it uses that to call logger.warn, logger.info, etc. If you're using Rails, you'd do this in your config/initializers/authority.rb file, copied from this template when you run rails g authority:install: https://github.com/nathanl/authority/blob/master/lib/generators/templates/authority_initializer.rb

As the config file shows, you can use config.logger = Logger.new('/dev/null') to have Authority discard all such messages. In your case, you might want to wrap that in a conditional so it only happens in your test environment.

Don't know how I missed that. Perfect. Thanks!
