Missing last request/response log using a non-default PrintStream

[alejo...@nomasystems.com]

Hi!

I'm using a PrintStream different from System.out to print the log to something handable by log4j.

Example:

Suite

private static StringWriter writer = new StringWriter();
    private static WriterOutputStream writerOutputStream =
            new WriterOutputStream(writer, Charset.defaultCharset(), 1024, true);
    private static PrintStream defaultPrintStream = new PrintStream(writerOutputStream, true);
    private static Logger primaryLogger; // To screen.
    private static Logger secondaryLogger; // To file.

@BeforeClass
    public static void init() {
        RestAssured.config = config().logConfig(logConfig().defaultStream(defaultPrintStream));
        ...
    }

public static String getRestAssuredLog() {
        writer.flush();
        String restAssuredLog = writer.toString();
        StringBuffer buffer = writer.getBuffer();
        buffer.replace(0, buffer.length(), "");
        return restAssuredLog;
    }

Facade

// Only a pair of examples.

private RequestSpecification requestSpecification(RequestData requestData) {
        RequestSpecification requestSpecification = given();
       
        Iterator<String> names = requestData.pathParamsIterator();
        while (names.hasNext()) {
            String name = names.next();
            requestSpecification = requestSpecification.pathParam(name, requestData.pathParamsGet(name));
        }
        names = requestData.queryParamsIterator();
        while (names.hasNext()) {
            String name = names.next();
            requestSpecification = requestSpecification.queryParam(name, requestData.queryParamsGet(name));
        }
        if (requestData.getHeaders() != null) {
            requestSpecification = requestSpecification.headers(requestData.getHeaders());           
        }
        if (requestData.getBody() != null) {
            requestSpecification = requestSpecification.contentType(ContentType.JSON).body(requestData.getBody().toString());
        }
        if (debug) {
            if (log) {
                requestSpecification = requestSpecification.log().all();
                String restAssuredLog = getRestAssuredLog();
                if (!restAssuredLog.equalsIgnoreCase("")) {
                    getSecondaryLogger().info(restAssuredLog);
                }
            }
        }
        return requestSpecification;
    }

...

private ResponseSpecification responseSpecification(RequestSpecification requestSpecification, int statusCode) {
        ResponseSpecification responseSpecification = requestSpecification.expect().statusCode(statusCode);
        if (log) {
            if (debug) {
                responseSpecification = responseSpecification.log().all();
            } else {
                responseSpecification = responseSpecification.log().ifError();
            }
            String restAssuredLog = getRestAssuredLog();
            if (!restAssuredLog.equalsIgnoreCase("")) {
                getSecondaryLogger().info(restAssuredLog);
            }
        }
        return responseSpecification;
    }

...

It works fine printing to System.out, but when I configure it to print to other PrintStream (which finally prints to the StringWriter), it prints all right except the last request/response. So, when a test fails and I need to see the output in the log file, I can't, because it is the last one and it is not printed.

After a lot of tests trying to discard several things, I'm sure it is not a log4j problem. And I have no more ideas to find it. So, can anyone help me? I'm not sure at all, but could even be a rest-assured bug?

Thanks in advance,

Alejo.

Hi, 

There are several tests in REST Assured for validating that logging to a printstream other than System.out works but perhaps there's something I've missed? In those cases I'm using "new PrintStream(new WriterOutputStream(writer), true);" where writer is a StringWriter. You could try the same thing in your app and see if you get the same problem or not.

Regards,
