n00b Spock & Logging Question

[StefK]

Hi, 

Summary: I am using spock for testing and my method takes in a logger (org.slf4j.Logger) and I would like to capture the logging output sent to that logger during test execution.

Problem: I don't know how to do this :(

Details:

e.g.  the method I am testing:

public Map myTestMethod(Logger log,  ... )

{

  ... 

  log.info(" This is a log I would like to capture with the test output")

  ...

} 

& in my spock test:

class Tester extends Specification {

  Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(Tester.class);

  

  def setup(){

     ...

  }

  def "Test method"()

  {

     setup: 'Some setup stuff'

     TestObject tObj = new ...

     when: ' test the method invocation'

     Map x = tObj.myTestMethod(logger,  ...)

     then: ' compare the results'

     x.size() == 3

  }  

}

So I would like to capture the "This is a log I would like to capture with the test output" in the output of the test reporting. But what I do analogously above isn't working for me. Is there some test framework file I missed? or?

The question isn't specific to Spock. You need to configure your logging framework (SLF4J is just the API) and/or environment (e.g. build tool) to log to standard out. For example, if you use Log4J you would put a log4j.properties on the class path.

Cheers,

Peter

Confirmed, I'm a n00b. 

Thanks :)

and just to confirm, Spock has no intention of having some built in Logger that we can pass round and set?

What you're looking for is built-into Groovy 1.8.x:

@Slf4J would do the trick in your case..
