Logging redirect to console

[Sean Wu]

Is there a way to turn on redirect logging to console? by default, robot intercepts all logging and only testcase status showing up on console.

thanks,
Sean

There's no built-in way, but you can create a listener with
`log_message` method and redirect all messages where you want. If only
a certain keyword needs to log to the console, you can use
`sys.__stdout__.write` or `robot.api.logger.console` methods.

Hi peke, 

I was not aware of Listener. Will give it a try.

I do have a wrapper logging method for the keyword implementation. Is that a way to detect whether it's being called by RobotFramework so that it can have extra logging to console enabled?

thanks,

Sean
