----------------------------------
Summary: Several unit tests are too spammy in the build log
Key: LOG4J2-602
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-602
Project: Log4j 2
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Core
Affects Versions: 2.0-rc1
Reporter: Matt Sicker
When I build the project using {{maven clean install}}, I get a ton of
irrelevant information about various tests. There are a few tests that
intentionally throw an exception (e.g., for testing the FailoverAppender) with
messages like "always fail" or "test". Now as a human, I can tell that those
tests work as expected. However, as a robot, I wouldn't be able to tell the
difference between test exception stack traces and actual problems with the
tests.
In fact, some CI systems will consider such error output to be a build problem
and won't mark the build as successful. See, for instance, [my attempted build
on travis-ci.org|https://travis-ci.org/jvz/logging-log4j2/jobs/22911866]. These
debug messages, while useful in development, really ought to be a build profile
setting (however that would be done in Maven; or if there's a way to mix in the
string lookup plugins with a maven property).
I'm actually wondering if all the exception stack traces there are even
expected. If they are, couldn't we use @Test(expected = SQLException.class) or
whatever the syntax is?
