Package org.testng.log4testng

Class Logger

  • public class Logger
extends java.lang.Object
    TestNG support logging via a custom logging framework similar to Log4j. To control logging, add a resource named "log4testng.properties" to your classpath. The logging levels are TRACE, DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR and FATAL. The Logging framework has the following characteristics:
    • All logging is done using System.out (for levels < ERROR) or System.err. There is no way to specify Appenders.
    • There is no way to control logging programmatically.
    • The log4testng.properties resource is searched in the classpath on the first call to the logging API. If it is not present, logging defaults to the WARN level.
    The property file contains lines in the following format: 
    
 # log4testng will log its own behavior (generally used for debugging this package only).
 log4testng.debug=true

 # Specifies the root Loggers logging level. Will log DEBUG level and above
 log4testng.rootLogger=DEBUG

 # The org.testng.reporters.EmailableReporter Logger will log TRACE level and above
 log4testng.logger.org.testng.reporters.EmailableReporter=TRACE

 # All Logger in packages below org.testng will log WARN level and above
 log4testng.logger.org.testng=WARN
    In your source files you will typically instantiate and use loggers this ways: 
    
 import org.testng.log4testng.Logger;

 class ThisClass {
     private static final Logger LOGGER = Logger.getLogger(ThisClass.class);

     ...
     LOGGER.debug("entering myMethod()");
     ...
     LOGGER.warn("unknown file: " + filename);
     ...
     LOGGER.error("Unexpected error", exception);

      • getLogger

        public static Logger getLogger​(java.lang.Class pClass)
        Retrieve a logger named according to the value of the pClass.getName() parameter. If the named logger already exists, then the existing instance will be returned. Otherwise, a new instance is created. By default, loggers do not have a set level but inherit it from their nearest ancestor with a set level.
        Parameters:
        pClass - The class' logger to retrieve.
        Returns:
        a logger named according to the value of the pClass.getName().

      • isTraceEnabled

        public boolean isTraceEnabled()
        Check whether this logger is enabled for the TRACE Level.
        Returns:
        true if this logger is enabled for level TRACE, false otherwise.

      • trace

        public void trace​(java.lang.Object message)
        Log a message object with the TRACE level. This method first checks if this logger is TRACE enabled. If this logger is TRACE enabled, then it converts the message object (passed as parameter) to a string by invoking toString(). WARNING Note that passing a Throwable to this method will print the name of the Throwable but no stack trace. To print a stack trace use the trace(Object, Throwable) form instead.
        Parameters:
        message - the message object to log.

      • trace

        public void trace​(java.lang.Object message,
                  java.lang.Throwable t)
        Log a message object with the TRACE level including the stack trace of the Throwable t passed as parameter. See Logger.trace(Object) form for more detailed information.
        Parameters:
        message - the message object to log.
        t - the exception to log, including its stack trace.

      • isDebugEnabled

        public boolean isDebugEnabled()
        Check whether this logger is enabled for the DEBUG Level.
