Can't turn off ESP8266 dancole90 ping library debug messages

Projects Programming
1

Greetings,

I was trying to set up the ESP8266 dancole90 ping library, but every time I run the "Host ping" or the other example sketch, I get the following debug message on the last line of the serial monitor:
"ping 5, timeout 0, total payload 160 bytes, 5031 ms"

It doesn't really matter which ip address or host I try to ping.

I want to disable this debug message line, as it is ruining my (already existing) serial debug message formatting for one of my projects.

The problem is, I don't know where this debug message line is coming from..

Things I tried so far which didn't work at all:

  1. #define DISABLE_SPIFFS_DEBUG
  2. #define DISABLE_WIFI_DEBUG
  3. #define DISABLE_CORE_DEBUG
  4. #define ENABLE_DEBUG_PING 0
  5. system_set_os_print(0);

I also tried to comment out every DEBUG_PING(...), os_printf(...), LWIP_DEBUGF(...) lines, and also the ENABLE_DEBUG_PING, PING_DEBUG, etc definitions from ESP8266Ping.h, ESP8266Ping.cpp, ping.h, esp-ping.c files. I don't know which files should I look through next, as I don't have a very good understanding of the sdk / core.

GPT-4o was not helpful either.

IDE version: 2.1.1
Board: ESP-12F (4MB flash, 160Mhz)
ESP8266 core version: 3.1.2

Sorry for my English

The message may be coming from esp-ping.c

		if (ping_opt->sent_function == NULL){
			os_printf("ping %d, timeout %d, total payload %d bytes, %d ms\n",
					pingmsg->max_count, pingmsg->timeout_count, PING_DATA_SIZE*(pingmsg->max_count - pingmsg->timeout_count),delay);

On my PC the path to the file is C:\Users\Bob2\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\esp8266\hardware\esp8266\3.1.2\tools\sdk\lwip2\builder\glue-lwip\esp-ping.c

Thanks for the fast reply!

Unfortunately, I already commented out that exact, and all other os_printf functions as I mentioned above.
I also double checked it now (just in case).

I also forgot to mention, that I tried restarting my IDE, and deleting the core cache (path taken from verbose log) at:
%appdata%\Local\Temp\arduino\cores\a842aa3ed1b6a557f4ef2f1624d87ab8\core.a

Update!

I deleted the esp-ping.c file located at esp8266\hardware\esp8266\3.1.2\tools\sdk\lwip2\builder\glue-lwip\esp-ping.c. Surprisingly, I didn’t encounter any errors when I tried to build the example code. It appears that the issue wasn’t related to that file after all.
