How to redirect REST Assured logs to log4j logger?

[akshay....@agrostar.in]

Hello!

I'm using REST Assured for getting response in below manner:

Response response = RestAssured.given().log().method().contentType(ContentType.JSON)...

Also, there's a Logger instance in the same class as:

private Logger log = Logger.getLogger(MyClass.class);

I would like to know if there's some way to redirect the output of log().method(). to my Logger object.

Thanks Johan for the response! I tried the solution for printing the method name in my logs (handled by log4j), but it seems to be introducing two blank lines after the method name in logs. I tried to play around a lot with the code in http://stackoverflow.com/a/33388510/398441, but no luck so far. After tweaking the log4j.properties file to print the class name and line number from which the blank lines are getting introduced, I found that they come from below line in http://stackoverflow.com/a/33388510/398441.

myLog.debug( this.myStringBuilder.toString() );

Also in terms of 

will redirect all log outputs of a ValidatableResponse to the supplied logger:
 * <pre>
 *             resp.then().log().all( true );
 * </pre>

I wonder if there's a way to make all REST assured requests to log in this way without having to add log().all(true) to each REST assured request?

Hi Matt,

Yes, there is a way to do that. You could define a "RequestSpecification" object and re-use the same with every request in this way:

1. Define a "spec" with required details, like logging (with level), etc.

RequestionSpecification spec = new RequestSpecBuilder().log(LogDetail.ALL).build();

2. Use the "spec" in your request to make a GET call (assuming baseURI and basePath have been set somewhere), e.g.

Response response = given().spec(spec).get();

BTW, using "spec" you can do a lot of other things like setting contentType, baseURI, basePath, etc.

Thanks yes that's a nice technique reusing a base spec object

I was able to successfully extract the request & response specification (logs) using the concept of filters in Rest-Assured. I have created a video on youtube on how to do this. Below is the link. Hope this helps

Hi Tej,

This is a really nice example for RA filters. My question was about redirecting the RA logs to log4j though (which I've enabled by implementing a custom LoggerPrintStream).

Thanks!

You can use filters. Check an example in this article.

I uses filters and passes the output to log4j2
