 You can also enable logging to further inspect what's going on under the hood.
-Neotest-golang piggybacks on the Neotest logger. You can enable it like so:
+Neotest-golang piggybacks on the Neotest logger but writes its own file. The
+default log level is `WARN` but during troubleshooting you want to increase
+this:
 
 ```lua
--- set debug level after having called require("neotest").setup()
-require("neotest.logging"):set_level(vim.log.levels.DEBUG)
+local config = {
+    log_level = vim.log.levels.TRACE, -- set log level
+}
+
+require("neotest").setup({
+  adapters = {
+    require("neotest-golang")(config), -- Apply configuration
+  },
+})
 ```
 
-> [!WARNING]
->
-> Please note that this could cause tests to run slower, so don't forget to
-> remove this setting once you have resolved your issue!
+The neotest-golang logs can be opened using this convenient vim command:
 
-You can get ahold of the log file's path using
-`require("neotest.logging"):get_filename()`, which usually points to your
-`~/.local/state/nvim/neotest.log`.
+```vim
+:exe 'edit' stdpath('log').'/neotest-golang.log'
+```
 
-The logfile tends to be ginormous and if you are only looking for neotest-golang
-related entries, you can either search for the `[neotest-golang]` prefix, or
-open the log in a Neovim buffer and then filter out only the adapter-related
-entries:
+This usually corresponds to something like
+`~/.local/state/nvim/neotest-golang.log`.
 
-```lua
-:edit ~/.local/state/nvim/neotest.log
-:lua require("neotest-golang.utils.buffer").filter("[neotest-golang]")
-```
+> [!WARNING]
+>
+> Don't forget to revert back to `WARN` level once you are done troubleshooting,
+> as the `TRACE` level can degrade performance.
