Automatic save log windows

[rdebie]

It would be very nice when a log line in a log windows
also be written to a log file.

When debugging or testing a lot, the log window will erase lines
when there are more than n line's.

Hi Raymond,

this is actually possible currently by modifying the internal log4j configuration.. if you tell me which log you need I'll show you an example..

(obviously this should be improved to be configured directly in the UI in a future version)

Ole,

I want to export the groovy log  and some other log windows that
i self created.

It would be very nice when it can be configured directly in the UI by the future.

greetings,

Hi,

ok.. I've attached a modified soapui-log4j.xml that you should save in your soapui-pro\bin directory, it adds the following to the standard configuration:

<logger name="groovy.log">
   <appender-ref ref="GroovyFile"/>
</logger>
   
<appender name="GroovyFile" class="org.apache.log4j.FileAppender">
     <errorHandler class="org.apache.log4j.helpers.OnlyOnceErrorHandler"/>
     <param name="File" value="soapui-groovy.log"/>
     <param name="Threshold" value="DEBUG"/>
     <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
         <param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d %-5p [%c{1}] %m%n"/>
     </layout>     
</appender>

ie it defines a file-appender which writes to a "soapui-groovy.log" file and associates it with the "groovy.log" category..

If you want to add appenders to your own logs, just create a category named as yours and appropriate appenders..

Hope this helps!

It works almost fine.

The file is OK
But i have 1 question.
In the log file is see
007-08-03 10:47:18,063 INFO  [category] testing..

How can i fill the [category] or skip this item.

I have attached the script, log and log4j.xml file.

Can you tell me what i do wrong, or forgot to do?

Raymond

Hi Raymond,

the format is controlled by the ConversionPattern layout parameter in the config file.. if you change it to

[rdebie]

Ole,

Are the options for the ConversionPattern defined (described) somewhere ?
