[andrew-eldridge]

Commit Type

• feature - New functionality
• fix - Bug fix
• refactor - Code restructuring without behavior change
• perf - Performance improvement
• docs - Documentation update

• chore - Maintenance/tooling

Risk Level

• Low - Minor changes, limited scope
• Medium - Moderate changes, some user impact
• High - Major changes, significant user/system impact

What & Why

• Move several information messages to output channel logs to reduce clutter
• Similarly, avoid forcing automatically opening outputs view

Impact of Change

• Users: Less frequent information messages, same information contained in extension output channel. Outputs view no longer automatically opens for certain errors.
• Developers: N/A
• System: N/A

Test Plan

• Unit tests added/updated
• E2E tests added/updated
• Manual testing completed
• Tested in:

Thank you for your submission! Here's detailed feedback on your PR title and body compliance:

✅ PR Title

• Issue: None. The title is clear, scoped, and accurately describes the change.
• Recommendation: No change needed.

---

✅ Commit Type

• Properly selected (chore).
• Only one commit type is selected, which is correct.

---

✅ Risk Level

• The selected label/body risk level is Low, and that matches the scope of the diff.
• Advised risk remains low; I do not recommend raising it.

---

✅ What & Why

• Current:
  • Move several information messages to output channel logs to reduce clutter
  • Similarly, avoid forcing automatically opening outputs view
• Issue: None. This is concise and explains both the change and motivation.
• Recommendation: No change needed.

---

✅ Impact of Change

• The impact is described clearly enough for a chore-style PR.
• Recommendation:
  • Users: Good as written.
  • Developers: N/A is acceptable.
  • System: N/A is acceptable.

---

⚠️ Test Plan

• The PR body does not mark any test checkbox, but the diff includes multiple test updates/removals and this is primarily a message/logging refactor.
• Because the change is code-affecting, it would be better to explicitly check Unit tests added/updated or add a short manual-testing note.
• Recommendation: Mark the test plan item that applies best, for example:
  • - [x] Unit tests added/updated
  • or - [x] Manual testing completed with a short note if automation is not sufficient.

Pull request overview

This PR reduces VS Code notification noise in the Logic Apps VS Code designer extension by moving many informational toasts into the extension output channel and by removing the behavior that auto-opens the Output view on log writes.

Changes:

• Removed ext.log/showInformation/showWarning/logTelemetry helpers and updated call sites to write to ext.outputChannel instead of showing information toasts.
• Updated multiple workflow/project commands to log success/info to the output channel (and refactored a few control flows).
• Updated/trimmed unit tests to stop asserting on information toasts; removed several test-coverage markdown summary files.

Reviewed changes

Copilot reviewed 36 out of 36 changed files in this pull request and generated 5 comments.
