Logrus: How can I disable logger in test?

[salvador-dali]

Tried to use a logger in a particular package.
The problem is that when I test the package I get a lot of logs (which I do not need at all).

Is there a way to disable logging completely in tests? I tried doing something like logrus.SetLevel(logrus.PanicLevel) in TestMain, but this only ignores tests below panic level. There is nothing that I have found above the panic level.

logger := logrus.New()
logger.Out = ioutil.Discard

For future visitors to this page, like me, I had to to the follow instead:

log.SetOutput(ioutil.Discard)

AKA:

logrus.SetOutput(ioutil.Discard)

@laverboy you should update your great answer with go after the opening triple-backtick like this:

  ```go
  logrus.SetOutput(ioutil.Discard)
  ```

@sirupsen any way we could add this to the readme?

Or, we could add a feature where first thing in a log call, if the logger is disabled, the call is instantly dropped (for speed).
