How to print log messages to the output

[StKiller]

Hi all,

In the tested code is used frequently Log.d method call for debugging. But when I run the tests, there is no output. I've found ShadowLog class, but I cannot understand how to use it. Please help.

OK, I've found how to register ShadowLog and how to print it's messages. But anyway, it prints only invocations of Log.d that are called within test class. But how can I print Log.d messages invoked from app's code ?

You can use Java's native System.out.println for example.

Well, there was another issue - I used the ShadowActivity instead of real one, so the app's code wasn't invoked. Changing back to use of real class solved the issue : 

At the start of the test class : 

    static {

        ShadowLog.stream = System.out;

        Robolectric.bindShadowClass(ShadowLog.class);

you can also set the system property "robolectric.logging" to one of

 * stdout  (logs to stdout)
 * stderr  (logs to stderr)
 * somefilename.txt  (logs to a file)
 
i added this a while ago but it isn't documented anywhere.
