ChainedRuntimeException: Failed to get the test results at http:...//ServletRedirector

Cactusizers:

I'm trying to get the StrutsTest sample from
http://strutstestcase.sourceforge.net/ working, in NetBeans, with the
CactusStrutsTestCase. After upgrading the project to use that jar,
filling in a bunch of other jars, and tweaking cactus.properties, I
get this familiar error message:

testSuccessfulLogin(TestLoginAction)org.apache.cactus.util.ChainedRuntimeException:
Failed to get the test results at
[http://localhost:8084/StrutsTest//ServletRedirector]

So Google soon leads me to its FAQ:

http://jakarta.apache.org/cactus/faq.html#faq_failed_to_get_test_results

Which tells me to turn on logging using this simple technique:

http://jakarta.apache.org/cactus/integration/manual/howto_config.html#logging

That seems to be saying to write log4j.properties files, with all that
stuff in them.

Then it doesn't say where to put the files. I use the Tomcat bundled
with NetBeans, and there is another Tomcat available.

Please don't just say "on the class path". Where do those files go? or
is there a /reliable/ way to turn logging on from inside the test
case?

'//' in the URL may be the cause.
Could you verify that your contextURL is not ends with '/'?

How about WEB-INF/classes?

NetBeans has an internal Tomcat.

However, I thought that Cactus tests mocked the server and client, so the 
only configurations they should need are the Test Libraries folder stuff.

I just added "commons-logging.properties", and the error message did not 
change.

Why doesn't the log4j.xml file say "Log4JLogger" anywhere. That would seem 
to be where they match.

What's the chain of events at startup time? What reads what configuration, 
and what does it do with each line?

Is there a downloadable example of the entire system, up and running, with a 
Cactus test and with logging turned on? (Googling for that returns too many 
false hits...)

You should really spend more time reading documentation. I have pointed you
to http://strutstestcase.sf.net and you seem not to have read that page. It
clearly and visibly points you to their forum. To make it easy for you, here
it is:

http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=121751

Nobody forces you to use Cactus at all...

S'okay. They have no mailing list there, so far as I can tell. The
closest hit in Yahoo Groups was (cough) this one.

I will have another bash at using raw Cactus without the struts
testers, but I predict the same vicious cycle of error messages.

No, this list has nothing to do with StrutsTestCase. For StrutsTestCase see,
http://strutstestcase.sourceforge.net/. There's a link to their mailing
list/forums.

A long time back I had proposed to the strutstestcase project to merge with
the Cactus project but they didn't want to. That's their right and I
understand that. But you need to understand that they are separate projects.

Thanks

This is not a list for users of StrutsTestCase, specifically; this is why I
am in the Cactus mailing list.

I turned on logging like this:

    Logger aLogger = Logger.getRootLogger();

    PatternLayout layout = new PatternLayout("%d{ABSOLUTE} [%t] %-5p
%-30.30c{2} %x - %m %n");//"%d %x %t %p %l %throwable: %m%n");
        File cactusFile = new File("c:/cactus.log");
        if (cactusFile.isFile())
            cactusFile.delete();

        FileAppender aFileAppender = new FileAppender();
        aFileAppender.setName("cactus_log");
        aFileAppender.setFile("C:/cactus.log");

         aFileAppender.setAppend(true);
         aFileAppender.setImmediateFlush(true);
         aFileAppender.setLayout(layout);
         aFileAppender.activateOptions();
        aLogger.addAppender(aFileAppender);
        aLogger.setLevel(Level.DEBUG);

I turned it on due to this error message:

ChainedRuntimeException: Failed to get the test results at
[http://localhost:8084/Foo/ServletRedirector]

The FAQ for that error message says to turn on logging.

Now I have a big log, and I am unaware what to read in it to diagnose the
error!

Phlip,

I do not use StrutsTestCase, so I cannot help you in that respect.
The code I sent you is for a log4j.xml file, not for log4j.properties file.
The format of the entries are different.
Cactus does not mock an application server; in fact, it needs an application
(web) server started and running (you can do that with your ant build.xml
file or starting the server integrated in your IDE).
I recommend you to run one very simple test, without logging to start with,
and once you have everything right, add logging.

Pedro Nevado

Per my other mail, that didn't work. Here's what did.

Download the source to the book /Apache Tomcat Bible/.

Open chapter 17\hello-log4j

Change the "log4j.appender.A1.File" line to "c:/cactus_log4j.txt"

Copy the file log4j.properties to build/test/classes

Copy the file log4j.properties to build/web/WEB-INF/classes

(Note I don't care which one did it...)

Now when I run, the file "c:/cactus_log4j.txt" appears and contains nothing,
and the console logger reveals this:

testExecute(enforcer.actions.LoginActionTest)java.net.ConnectException:
Connection refused: connect

So, now I just need to check my program can run its Login.do action, and
stuff, to see why it was unconnectable.

I thought this Cactus stuff ran client-side, and mocked the servlet stuff.
Should I switch back to MockStrutsTestCase?

RE: How to turn on logging?

I don't think it has anything to do with jour Netbeans configuration.
In case it can be useful:
- check you have a commons-logging.properties file in your src/ (and in your
futher dist/your_app/WEB-INF/classes) with something like:
org.apache.commons.logging.Log=org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Log4JLogger.
- check the consistency of the references in your log4j.xml: appender/name,
logger/appender-ref.
- cactus has a client side and a server side. Check your client and server
classpaths, if you use logging in both of the sides, are properly
configured. You need configuration files for both of them.

Pedro Nevado

Agh, this project is frying my brain. Of course I have that line; I wasn't
capable of copying the one line into this friggin' post.

So, _with_ the line, how do you get that error message. Understand I'm
stupid enough to have done _anything_ wrong, including configure NetBeans
wrong, or use its bundled Tomcat, or leave out some silly Jar file...
