title: gradle: disable output explicitly leads to verbose output
body: <p>I use gradle as build tool for a spring boot application and there I am confronted with some strange behavior. Gradle shows more logging-information on explicitly turn test-outputs off as if I do not specify anything at all. </p>
  
  <p>This is quite strange, because a explicit disable-statement should be at least as expressive as no configuration, or shouldn't it?</p>
  
  <p>Example:
  If I add the following lines to my <em>build.gradle</em>, I get a by far more verbose logging output on running <code>gradle test</code>:</p>
  
  <pre><code>test{
      testLogging {
          showStackTraces = false
          showStandardStreams = false
          showExceptions = false
          showCauses = false
          events "failed"
          exceptionFormat "short"
      }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT:</strong></p>
  
  <p>I changed it to <code>events = []</code> as @Peter_Niederwieser suggested. Now nearly all messages disappear, except the following one. Has somebody or other an idea how I can suppress them all? I only want to show the result <code>34 tests completed</code>and maybe a link to the report.</p>
