How to stop file logging using logzero

kr.prashant94

Whenever, I am importing SmartApi it is creating ./logs folder in project directory that highly unsafe for my application. the logger might log sensitive critical information that will expose over public access.
I want to stop logzero logging but unable to do that.

from SmartApi import SmartConnect
import logzero

logzero.logfile(None)

Please remove the logzero configuration override package. Please inherit configuration from parent configuration.

SmartApi/smartConnect.py

128        log_folder_path = os.path.join("logs", log_folder)  # Construct the full path to the log folder
129        os.makedirs(log_folder_path, exist_ok=True) # Create the log folder if it doesn't exist
130        log_path = os.path.join(log_folder_path, "app.log") # Construct the full path to the log file
131        logzero.logfile(log_path, loglevel=logging.ERROR)  # Output logs to a date-wise log file

Please fix this kind of programming bug

As a workaround, you can monkey patch the functions used for creating that folder

    # Monkey patching used functions so that folder and logging is not setup
    import os
    import logzero
    orig_makedirs = os.makedirs
    os.makedirs = lambda *_args, **_kwargs: None
    orig_logfile = logzero.logfile
    logzero.logfile = lambda *_args, **_kwargs: None

    # Create api object here
    smart_api = SmartConnect("API KEY")

    # Restoring back original functions
    os.makedirs = orig_makedirs
    logzero.logfile = orig_logfile

You can also create a decorator wrapping your function call
