Look in Bugzilla. There was some recent activity on this sort of issue. I had to do with Log4j, JUnit, and the ConsoleAppender not working with some code to correct it. I haven't looked at the code's validity, but maybe this is the same issue?
BTW, have you tried forking the JUnit VM? If you are worried about too much forking slowing your tests, then use (This assumes Ant-1.6.2)... <junit ... fork="yes" forkmode="perBatch"> ... </junit> http://ant.apache.org/manual/OptionalTasks/junit.html This "creates a VM for each nested <batchtest> and one collecting all nested <test>s" Jake Quoting Robert Taylor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Greetings, > > I'm somewhat new to log4j and am having trouble getting my logging > output to print to the console. > > My log4j.xml file is as follows: > > <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> > <!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration SYSTEM "log4j.dtd"> > <log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/";> > > <appender name="STDOUT" class="org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender"> > <layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout"> > <param name="ConversionPattern" > value="[%d{MMM dd, yyyy h:MM:ss aa zzz}] [%-5p] [%c %x %m]%n"/> > </layout> > </appender> > > <logger name="com.company"> > <level value="DEBUG" /> > <appender-ref ref="STDOUT" /> > </logger> > > <root> > <level value="ERROR" /> > <appender-ref ref="STDOUT" /> > </root> > </log4j:configuration> > > > I have some JUnit tests configured to execute in an Ant script. > My unit tests have the appropriate static data member: > > Private static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger("com.company.MyTest"); > > And my logging statements are at the appropriate level: > Logger.debug("My debug statement"); > > I've placed log4j.jar in the compile and runtime classpath in my Ant > script: > > My JUnit target is defined as such: > > <target name="test.MyTest"> > <junit printsummary="false" haltonfailure="true"> > <classpath refid="runtime.classpath"/> > <classpath> > <pathelement path="${build.dir}/library/classes"/> > <pathelement path="${src.home}/core/main/com/company/core/testing"/> > </classpath> > <formatter type="plain"/> > <test name=" com.company.MyTest " > haltonfailure="yes" todir="${build.dir}/report"/> > </junit> > </target> > > Nothing is being printed to the console or the subsequent report file > generated by JUnit. > > I've tried executing the Ant script and setting the location of the > log4j.xml file from the command line like so: > ant -Dlog4j.configuration=<fully qualified path to log4j.xml file> > > I've also tried using Ant's <sysproperty> element within the <junit> > task: > <sysproperty key="log4j.configuration" value="${log4j.xml}"/> > > It is behaving like log4j cannot find the configuration file. > > I know log4j is "working" because I can add the following line of code > to the unit test class and then I get logging statements printed to the > report file generated by JUnit. > > BasicConfigurator.configure(); > > I've wasted too much time on this, so I thought I would post to the user > list for some help. > > /robert > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
