Suppressing stack trace for logger.catch()

See original GitHub issue

Is there a way to suppress the stack trace for logger.catch()?

I have a decorator that catches certain types of exceptions and calls logger.exception() or logger.error(), depending on a debug boolean value. I’m trying to rewrite it using logger.catch(), but it always outputs the full stack trace.

Okay, sorry, I get it! Indeed, it is not possible to completely remove the stacktrace with logger.catch(). You implemented a custom context manager and that’s the best thing to do I think.

@Delgan Can you accept PR for this?
I thought about adding backtrace parameter to logger.catch() and check it to set backtrace_ to None in Catcher
