Echo action should not be regarded as a test "step"

[Ernesto-Maserati-CH]

I am surprised that "echo" is logged as a test step in the console output.

16:28:24,379 DEBUG citrus.Citrus| TEST STEP 4 SUCCESS 16:28:24,379 DEBUG context.TestContext| Setting variable: foo with value: 'bar'

It is convenient to use the echo method, but I don't regard it as a test "step" at all since it is just logging something.

Can you please turn off that it is displayed as a test step, or make that behavior configurable (preferably with default that it is not a test step)?

You are right. Sometimes the obvious just needs to be said by someone else. I hope we can do this as the step logging is done in a generic way with a test action listener. I will have a look at this

It seems that my issue is related to this one, so I'm adding comment here. It would be nice also to have "createVariable" as not a step in logs as well. And it would be great to have steps for actions inside parallel containers (right now we have one steps for whole container)

Hi!

Knowing about variables that define some test data should remain a test step in my opinion. :thinking:
