Log4j logging with Testng

[Mansi]

Hi Guys,

I am trying use log4j logging with testng but unable to succeed in it.

    public class PlaceAnOrder{

   WebDriver driver;

   static String strOrderRefNo;

   Logger log=Logger.getLogger(PlaceAnOrder.class);

    

        @Test

    public void PlaceOrder() throws Exception{

                PropertyConfigurator.configure("log4j.properties");

           Reporter.log("Reporter log started",true);

           Reporter.log("Login was successful. Moving to next step",true);

           log.info("Info message");

    }

}

Getting the below error -

log4j:ERROR Could not read configuration file [log4j.properties].

log4j:ERROR Ignoring configuration file [log4j.properties].

@Mansi - Report.log works perfectly for log4j(log.info) logging doesnot work. Could somebody help?

Hi Mansi,

It appears you missed "log4j.properties" file in your source folder. (see attached photo)

File content should be:

# Root logger option

log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG, stdout, file

# Redirect log messages to console

log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender

log4j.appender.stdout.Target=System.out

log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout

log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} %-5p %c{1}:%L - %m%n

# Redirect log messages to a log file, support file rolling.

log4j.appender.file=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender

log4j.appender.file.File="D:\\log4j-application.log"

log4j.appender.file.MaxFileSize=10MB

log4j.appender.file.MaxBackupIndex=10

log4j.appender.file.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout

log4j.appender.file.layout.ConversionPattern= #%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} %-5p %c{1}:%L - %m%n

Hope this help.
