Log4T

Stands for Logger for test methods.

Currently, this logger is hard-wired to be used only with log4j

Pre-requisites

1. TestNG 7.4.0
2. JDK8

Salient features

• Always generates a log file on a per test method basis.
• The logger does not take into account a test method with multiple invocations and a test method powered by a data provider.
• Log file names are fully qualified class names along with the method name.
• All logs are by default available in the logs directory.
• Captures log messages generated ONLY by a test method.
• Supports being invoked ONLY from within a @Test (or) @BeforeXXX|@AfterXXX methods.
• Does not capture logs generated by API calls that the current test method makes.
• The log file name of a test method is available as an attribute in its ITestResult object with a key named log4t.logs

How to use

Log4T.getLogger().info("testMethod1");
