Fixes #4862.
This removes the last remaining log lines from the R tests (other than dots for test statuses).
As described in #5237 (comment), when LightGBM's C++ code calls
Log::Fatal()
, the same log message comes through stderr twice:REprintf()
I think it makes sense to have both, so that if user code try-catches
{lightgbm}
stuff, suppressing those exceptions, they'll still at least see a log message indicating that the exception happened.This PR proposes just using
capture.output()
in the R package's tests to keep those logs out of the test output.
