Logging Selenium Tests in ReadyAPI

I'm currently having the following problem:   I used ReadyAPI to make a testframework for testing backend. Now I made a Selenium Framework for testing the frontend. I build a JAR from this Sele...

    I have a solution! Smartbear apparently uses log4j for logging. 

    So you need to emplement this in your Selenium framework. 

     

    Something like this:

    package com.testproject.tests;
    
    import org.apache.logging.log4j.LogManager;
    import org.apache.logging.log4j.Logger;
    
    public class TestClass{
        private Logger LOG;
    	
        public TestClass(Logger LOG) {
            this.LOG = LOG;
        }
    
        public TestClass() {this(LogManager.getLogger(TestClass.class)); }
    
    	@Test
        public void testMethod() {
            LOG.info("DEBUG LOGGING");
            LOG.debug("DEBUG LOGGING");
            LOG.warn("DEBUG LOGGING");
         }
    }

    Then you have to put some groovy in you ReadyAPI test to maken the test run and to get the logging:

    //Imports
    import com.testproject.tests.*;
    
    //make sure to insert "log"
    TestClass appt = new TestClass(log);
    //driver is your webdriver and I left out the code to instantiate it
    appt.setDriver(driver);
    appt.testMethod();

    Then you can adjust loglevels by adjusting "groovy.log" level in soapui-log4j.xml (wich will be in the bin folder of your ReadyAPI programfiles). In my original file it was set to "INFO". Here is an code example where I changed it to "DEBUG".

     

    <logger name="groovy.log" level="DEBUG" additivity="false">
                <AppenderRef ref="CONSOLE"/>
                <AppenderRef ref="GLOBAL_GROOVY_LOG" level="DEBUG"/>
    </logger>

    Hope someone else can use this information aswell :-)
