Pull request overview

Adjusts LSP server message logging to avoid polluting the Eclipse Error Log view with low-severity messages unless tracing is explicitly enabled (per issue #1522).

Changes:

  • Gate MessageType.Info (and the switch default branch) logging behind LanguageServerPlugin.isLogTraceEnabled().
  • Keep existing behavior for Error and Warning messages.

💡 Add Copilot custom instructions for smarter, more guided reviews. Learn how to get started.

This now gates INFO (and the default branch) behind LanguageServerPlugin.isLogTraceEnabled() (debug option org.eclipse.lsp4e/trace). The shipped org.eclipse.lsp4e/.options currently only declares org.eclipse.lsp4e/debug, so the trace option isn’t discoverable when launching with -debug. Consider adding/documenting org.eclipse.lsp4e/trace in the plugin’s .options (and/or user-facing docs) so users can actually enable these logs when needed.

Hi @raghucssit,

I don't think it's a good idea to hide these message is general.

That being said, I ran into a similar problem with a LS that was logging a lot of messages with INFO level.
To solve it, we made the *Message methods on DefaultLanguageClient non-final, see #1370.
This way, you can override the logMessage method in your own subclass and filter out some messages there.

I also do not think this is a problem that should be solved by suppressing messages on LSP4E by default. I think #1370 or fixing the offending language server is a better option.

I have moved this filtering to github copilot repo. I will close this as needed later once that pr is merged.
