I’m writing a mix task that needs part of my app to be started.
But when I use Mix.Task.run("app.start") or Application.ensure_all_started(:my_app), I have tons of info logs like this:
16:02:55.606 [info] Application lager started on node nonode@nohost
16:02:55.624 [info] Application gpb started on node nonode@nohost
16:02:55.624 [info] Application exprotobuf started on node nonode@nohost
16:02:55.640 [info] Application eex started on node nonode@nohost
16:02:55.661 [info] Application mime started on node nonode@nohost
16:02:55.664 [info] Application plug_crypto started on node nonode@nohost
16:02:55.678 [info] Application telemetry started on node nonode@nohost
16:02:55.680 [info] Application plug started on node nonode@nohost
Any way to silent this?
Already tried an experimental cocktail with multiple combinations of following commands. Not working … 
Mix.shell(Mix.Shell.Quiet)
Logger.disable(self())
Logger.remove_backend(:console)
Mix.Task.run("app.start")
Where Next?

Can’t believe
Logger.remove_backend(:console)doesn’t help. I guess Logger is successfully disabled and these logs were written bylager.cblavier
Maybe?
What do you think I should do?
I’m a bit confused between logger and lager, it reminds me of the dark ages of Java (log4j, common-logging
)

:lager- popular third party logger in erlang:logger- erlangs new logger api (newer than:lager)Logger- elixir’s logger api (in recent versions of elixir mostly backed by erlangs:logger)cblavier
It was indeed Lager, thank you @fuelen!
I was able to get rid of most logs with :
and then
Logger.remove_backend(:console)removed the few extra logs remaining!
