[2.2] Configure logging for tests

Hi everyone,

I'm using Cocoon 2.2.
How do I configure the logging output for my unit tests?

This tutorial helped me a lot for the web application, but it doesn't 
seem to work for the tests …

Thanks a lot for any hints!

Best regards,
Andreas

I chose this option. Here's what works for me:


       <plugin>
         <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
         <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
         <configuration>
           <systemProperties>
             <property>
               <name>log4j.configuration</name>
               <value>file://${project.basedir}/etc/log4j.xml</value>
             </property>
           </systemProperties>
         </configuration>
       </plugin>


Thanks again and best regards,

-- Andreas

That's because the tests aren't run inside a jetty container.  They're just
run inside JUnit.

The easiest way that I've found in the past is to create a file
src/main/resources/log4j.properties with the desired test logging setup.
 When the tests fire up, log4j auto-detects it because it'll be at the root
of the classpath.

If that fails, there are other options:

   - Set up a base class for all your tests, which has a setUp() which
   invokes PropertyConfigurator.configure(…)<http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/apidocs/org/apache/log4j/PropertyConfigurator.html#configure(java.lang.String)>
   .
   - Set up maven to invoke the tests in a forked JVM, and pass in the
   log4j.configuration system property.  Look at the docs for the surefire
   plugin<http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-surefire-plugin/examples/system-properties.html>
   .
