reCAPTCHA reports too many errors

Open on Drupal.org →
Created on 18 May 2023, about 2 years ago

Problem/Motivation

When the recaptcha response is anything other than perfect success, the module reports an error to watchdog.
But many of those errors are just recaptcha doing its job - they are not errors, they are successes. And you can get a LOT of these messages gumming up your logs, hiding real errors.

Steps to reproduce

Hard to do in a test bed, but trigger a few errors, like waiting too long to respond to the recaptcha challenge. Or fake some. See that the non-success responses are all logged as errors, regardless of type.

Proposed resolution

Permit developers to specify that some types of error should be reported as WATCHDOG_INFO, instead of WATCHDOG_ERROR.

Remaining tasks

Patch. Would be good to add something to the readme.
