log4j properties and unit tests
Hello,
within log4j.properties file, I have the following:
log4j.logger.system =ALL, sys
...
log4j.appender.sys.file=${catalina.home}/logs/foo.log
When the container is up, it works fine. When I run unit tests though,
${catalina.home} is null and all the logging infos are gone. Is there
something I can do about it so that I don't have to hardcode the path
(e.g. log4j.appender.sys.file=C:/Apache/logs/foo.log ) or to change the
property file every time I want to run the tests??
Thanks,
Argyro Kazaki

Personally, I use a separate Log4j config file for build-time -vs- run-time.
But if you must use the same file, you can always set the property when you run
the tests. For instance, using Ant...
<junit ...>
<sysproperty
key="catalina.home"
value="${path_to_log_dir}"/>
...
...
...
</junit>

Set the catalina.home environment variable before running unit tests.
