Open Mode: Make Morgan Config Public to turn off XHR request logging to stdout

[MetRonnie]

What would you like?

I don't need to see dozens of GET requests in stdout when running cypress open especially if the response is 200 or 304. I would like an option to turn this off.

Why is this needed?

I would prefer to avoid hiding the full output as sometimes there may be preprocessor warnings/errors that are actually important.

+1 to this request. I find at times this information is not super helpful. Looking through the code/debug logs, it seems this log is actually coming from the morgan module using the 'dev' format. We disabled this by default in run mode but in open mode we are opting into this format to give developers better insights into what is happening in their tests as they are developing.

This is toggled via the internal configuration called morgan, and when in set this in my cypress configuration, it indeed disables these logs. It's not documented, but is something you could start using today.

Thanks! In future it would perhaps be useful to be able to specify the skip function

morgan('dev', {
  skip: (req, res) => res.statusCode < 400
})

this is super helpful! I´ve wanted to mute those dozens requests on the stdout so many times in the past, finally able to!!! morgan: false on the configuration did it!!
