[Bug] Remove unnecessary console.log from register controller #1349

Description

@bh462007

Labels: bug

Description

The registration controller currently contains a console.log statement that runs on every registration attempt. While it may have been useful during development, it serves no functional purpose in production and adds unnecessary noise to server logs.

Removing this log (or limiting it to development environments) keeps production logs cleaner and makes the register controller consistent with the other authentication controllers.


Affected File

server/controller/Auth/register.js


Current Code

console.log("📝 Register attempt:");

Impact

  • Adds unnecessary entries to production server logs.
  • Increases noise in log aggregation and monitoring tools.
  • Exposes the timing of user registration attempts through logs.
  • Creates inconsistency with other authentication controllers, which do not log similar events.

Expected Behavior

The controller should not emit debug logs in production. If registration logging is still desired for development, it should be guarded by an environment check or handled through the application's logging system.


Proposed Fix

Either remove the statement entirely:

// Remove this line
console.log("📝 Register attempt:");

Or restrict it to non-production environments:

if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== "production") {
  console.log("📝 Register attempt:");
}

Severity

Low

A small cleanup that improves production logging hygiene and keeps the authentication controllers consistent.
