title: How to hide INFO messages from LocalServiceTestHelper when running GAE/J test cases?
body: <p>Before deploying my GAE app, I am running several hundreds of <a href="https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/java/tools/localunittesting" rel="nofollow">unit tests</a> locally. I am using the <a href="https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/java/tools/localunittesting/javadoc/com/google/appengine/tools/development/testing/LocalServiceTestHelper" rel="nofollow">LocalServiceTestHelper</a> to use GAE services like memcache or the datastore. Setting up and tearing down the helper between tests creates a lot of log output.</p>
  
  <p><em>How can I re-configure <a href="http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/logging/package-summary.html" rel="nofollow">java.util.logging</a> in order to avoid <a href="http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/logging/Level.html" rel="nofollow">INFO messages</a> caused by LocalServiceTestHelper entirely?</em></p>

  <p><strong>EDIT:</strong></p>
  
  <p>I created the file src/test/resources/logging.properties. The file is copied to target/test-classes/ before the tests are executed. It has the following content:</p>
  
  <pre><code>com.google.appengine.api.taskqueue.dev.level=SEVERE
  org.quartz.level=WARNING
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But I am still seeing the same log output while running the tests.</p>
