Tests are very noisy, 3

Hi team!

Description
When running Paparazzi screenshot tests with xml layouts, I constantly get the same STANDARD_ERROR in log outputs that was already mentioned in previous issues.

StartScreenTest > testMultiple STANDARD_ERROR
    Feb 21, 2025 10:33:08 AM app.cash.paparazzi.internal.PaparazziLogger logAndroidFramework
    INFO: ResourcesCompat [3]: Failed to inflate ColorStateList, leaving it to the framework
    java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "org.xmlpull.v1.XmlPullParser.next()" because "parser" is null
    ...

Note: As suggested, resetting the LogManager is a valid workaround, but quite tedious because it has to be done for almost every single test case.

Additional information:

• Paparazzi Version: 1.3.5
• OS: Mac Sonoma 14.6.1
• Compile SDK: 35
• Gradle Version: 8.9
• Android Gradle Plugin Version: 8.7.3

Screenshots
See error log above, can provide additional if necessary

This looks like working for me

        val logger = getLogger(Paparazzi::class.java.name)
        logger.level = if (fullLogging) Level.INFO else Level.OFF

My bad, it looks like it is not working. It looks like working locally, but still a lot of logs on CI.

@emartynov thanks for the suggestion!

Yes, you can definitely play around with the logging and either block everything / only expose certain logs / etc..., but that means there is a risk of potentially missing some actual errors.

True! But this is my compromise from the experience that I never found any error from the paparazzi log, and these logs are producing so much output that it is hard to find which modules test failed. So, I would love to do an experiment where I disable all these logs and see if I'm missing something.
