By default in the test env, Phoenix doesn't show Logger.debug/Logger.info outputs in the console.
Logger provides 4 printing levels:
- info (allows errors, warns, debugs, infos)
- debug (allows errors, warns, debugs)
- warn (allows errors, warns)
- error (allows errors)
By default the :warn level is turned on. It means that only Logger.warn and Logger.error is printed to the output.
If you'd like to use another two, go to your config/test.exs file and you'll probably see:
# Print only warnings and errors during test
config :logger, level: :warnJust change the line to the proper level (:debug or :info), and you're ready to go:
# Print all (errors, warnings, debugs and infos) during tests
config :logger, level: :infoWork with a team that keeps learning and building better software every day.

Hey! Have you ever wondered about tests running inside the IEx shell? For a long time, I was convinced that it’s not really possible. And as it turns out - that’s not really straightforward. You won’t easily find information about that in the documentation.
So, you’re changing this one file for local development purposes only. Maybe it’s config, maybe some source file, but one thing is certain - you don’t want those changes to be committed. And what’s worse, .gitignore doesn’t work.
