Logger output not visible in test results

[Joan Pujol]

Hi,

I'm runing my tests with maven surefire and the problem that I've is
that I can't view my logger output in test results.

When I run the tests I can see the logger output in the console where
I run the command but I can't see it in the testng reporter ouptut.
In the reporter output I only can see what I output using System.out.

Someone knows what's happening? And why if my logger outputs to the
console it isn't visible in the testng output?


PD: I've tried to change surefire formMode to 'none' and it doesn't
works. For the rest I have all default values.

Cheers,

Hi Joan,

Did you try without Maven at all?  This would help narrow down the suspects...

I tested now and it doesn't works. In fact it's worse because I can't
either see the System.out messages in reorter output.

I tried the web example adding a log4j line (http://testng.org/doc/
documentation-main.html)
And ran it with:
java -classpath .;..\lib\log4j-1.2.15.jar;..\lib\testng-5.10-jdk15.jar
com.beust.testng.TestNG ../testng.xml

I can see the log while running in the command line but I can't see
nothing in the reporter output.

I've never used testng before. I'm missing some parameter?

Can you post a short example with your code?  Are you using the Reporter class?

Of course:

//+++++CODE++++++++++
package example1;

import org.testng.annotations.*;

public class SimpleTest {

@BeforeClass
public void setUp() {
// code that will be invoked when this test is instantiated
}

@Test(groups = { "fast" })
public void aFastTest() {
System.out.println("Fast test");
org.apache.log4j.Logger.getLogger(SimpleTest.class).info("This is a
test");
}

@Test(groups = { "slow" })
public void aSlowTest() {
System.out.println("Slow test");
}

}

//testng.xml

<suite name="Package suite">
<test name="test">
<packages>
<classes>
<class name="example1.SimpleTest" />
</classes>
</packages>
</test>
</suite>

//Command to run the test:

java -classpath .;..\lib\log4j-1.2.15.jar;..\lib\testng-5.10-
jdk15.jar
com.beust.testng.TestNG ../testng.xml

A lot of thanks Cédric,

Joan,

You need to use Reporter.log() if you want your logs to appear in the reports.

This is the only way?

There's no way to capture standard output messages writted by the code that is being tested?

Or any workarround, because I've no problem in using Reporter in testing code but it's also interesting for me to put output from the code that is being tested.

Cheers,

Yes, it's the only way.  TestNG doesn't capture System.out/err for a couple of reasons:

• The output would be mangled when you run your tests in parallel.
• Capturing System.out/err can interfere with other tools, especially when these tools already capture these outputs.

If you want to capture this yourself, it's pretty easy:  just assign out/err to your own writer in a @BeforeSuite.

Does this answer your question?

Yes, now it's clear.

Thanks you Cédric.
