Flutter Firebase Storage - Hide Storage Exception when a file doesn't exist

Question

I'm using Flutter and Firebase Storage for an app. I tried to create a function to know whether a file exists or not:

Future<bool> exists(String path) async {
   bool _exists;
   StorageReference storageReference = FirebaseStorage.instance.ref().child(path);
   try {
      await storageReference.getDownloadURL();
      _exists = true;
   } catch (exception) {
      _exists = false;
   }
   return _exists;
}

It is working but when a file does not exist, it still logs the error:

I/System.out(12012): (HTTPLog)-Static: isSBSettingEnabled false
E/StorageException(12012): StorageException has occurred.
E/StorageException(12012): Object does not exist at location.

Because of that, the console in now full of those lines and it became very hard to debug anything else...

How can I hide those lines ?

Thank you !

Catch the error like this and handle it

}, onError: (e) {
        debugPrint('Exception::: ==========>>>>>>> ${e.toString()}');
      });

This does NOT hide the lines, it just prints a new console debug log with the indicated string.
