How do I totally turn off tracing in local development? Why is datadog still trying to make network calls?

[alexevanczuk]

When I run my Ruby tests, I am getting this:

E, [2023-02-21T00:00:01.175004 #34286] ERROR -- ddtrace: [ddtrace] (/Users/alexevanczuk/.rbenv/versions/3.3.5/lib/ruby/gems/3.3.0/gems/ddtrace-1.23.3/lib/datadog/tracing/transport/http/client.rb:41:in `rescue in send_request') Internal error during Datadog::Tracing::Transport::HTTP::Client request. Cause: Errno::ECONNREFUSED Failed to open TCP connection to 127.0.0.1:8126 (Connection refused - connect(2) for "127.0.0.1" port 8126) Location: /Users/alexevanczuk/.rbenv/versions/3.3.5/lib/ruby/3.3.0/net/http.rb:1603:in `initialize'

However, I have set this configuration:

require 'ddtrace/auto_instrument'
require 'version_tracking'
require 'datadog/appsec'

is_test = ENV['CI'] || Rails.env.test?
Datadog.configure do |c|
  if !is_test
    # ... sets up tracing
  elsif is_test
    c.tracing.test_mode.enabled = true
  end

  c.env = Rails.env
  c.service = DatadogHelper.service_name
  c.version = git_sha

  c.tags = {...}
end

Thank you for your help!
