[New-bugs-announce] [issue24352] Provide a way for assertLogs to optionally not hide the logging output

[R. David Murray]

New submission from R. David Murray:

In my test framework I have a 'verbose' flag that causes the logging output to be written to the console[*], which helps greatly during debugging.  However, if assertLogs is used, the logging is suppressed, and when debugging logging failures it is really helpful to see the full logging output :).

Ideally there would be a unittest-supported 'verbose' flag that assertLogs could look at and not suppress existing logging when it is at level 2 or greater.  Or perhaps a flag specific to logging output would be better?  I don't really care what the API is as long as I can arrange to set it from the CLI as part of running individual tests.
