How can I silence the Ganache server running on the background when I am running my test suite?

Consider this code: https://github.com/kindaro/blockchain-examples/tree/830fe50c7b07af71d1715737147ac713a99130de. This is the output I see when running npm run check: https://gist.github.com/kindaro/7b8957132c0f6ecc3950e66de4666af6. I am bothered by lines such as:

eth_accounts
eth_gasPrice
eth_blockNumber
eth_sendTransaction

As I understand, what happens is that, when required, Ganache spins up a server that, by default, says, for every JSON RPC request made to it, its name.

Is there a way to require Ganache in such a way that these messages be suppressed?

I read that in a «standalone» instance of Ganache, running from command line, these messages can be suppressed with the flag --quiet. Is there a way to trigger this flag when requiring Ganache programmatically?

const provider = Ganache.provider({ logging: { quiet: true }}); should do the trick, unless you are passing your own logger ({ logging: { logger: console }}) in which case Ganache does still send the logs to your custom logger.

Thank you. Is this documented somewhere?

Doesn't look like it. Sorry about that!
