TestExecute - Disable logging entirely

I've designed some testing tools which run continuously, checking the DB for new scripts to run.  In this environment, my log files are getting up above 2 GB.  I would like to be able to disable saving log information for TestExecute (not just suppress the information when it exits).



If I remember correctly, I can capture the event for each type of log and check a variable to see if TestExecute is running (rather than TestComplete, which I use on my own comp and need the logging information).  I could then (at least in theory), set a variable to true which prevents the log event from firing.



Am I the only one who actually wants to disable logging in TE?  I guess I'm in a unique scenario, but it's hard to believe there's no interface option to just disable the log files.
  • There is no such options, however it is still possible.



    You can create handlers for all log events (it is described in Help) and in every handler write

    LogParams.Locked = true;



    This will supress posting a certain event (error, warning, message and so on).



    You can also use Project Variable to create a boolean variable which will specify whether to disable logging or not. THen your even handlers will look something like this



    if(Project.Variable.SupressLog)

    { LogParams.Locked = true; }

      Were you able to implement this? I am unable to do this for my functional automation project. For negative TC's where i expect 400 response to pass my test case these files are getting genrated .

      ex: Retail-<Test case name>- <Test Step name>-0-FAILED
