log java exceptions to log4j

[Jonathan Aubuchon]

Hi,

I'm trying to log the exceptions that are occuring during the execution of a test suite. Note that I also want the exceptions that are occurring during the @Before and @After hook.

From what I understand, cucumber print to the console those exceptions, but is there a way to log them into log4j?

PS: I don't want to place try{ ... } catch { logger.error(...) } in every steps.

Thank you

Hi,

Write your out custom formatter/reporter and use it to pass the exceptions to log4j, implementing the Reporter interface seems to be sufficient for this.
In the methods:

void before(Match match, Result result);

void result(Result result);

void after(Match match, Result result);

you can extract the exceptions from failed results and pass them to log4j.
