---------------------------------------
Summary: direct test output to file by default
Key: ARTEMIS-4832
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARTEMIS-4832
Project: ActiveMQ Artemis
Issue Type: Task
Components: Tests
Affects Versions: 2.35.0
Reporter: Robbie Gemmell
Fix For: 2.36.0
Currently the artemis build prints all the test stdout to the console. This can
make it difficult to see individual results as they occur or look back either
while the suite is running or afterwards (previously even more of an issue
prior to ARTEMIS-4831).
Many of the tests generate _a lot_ of output. As a result, even the small
subset used in the PR checks is already enough to overflow the limit GitHub
allows to occur before truncating all outpu{{monospaced text}}t and requiring
downloading the job logs, which you need to wait until after the run has
finished to see. Redirecting the output will allow seeing specific results more
easily, and also relative progress of the job prior to completion. The PR
subset is but a small fraction of the total, so e.g when running the wider test
suite locally with lots more integration tests this is actually even worse as
the console will typically exceed its buffer so you simply cant see most
results at all without e.g generating the surefire report later.
Surefire already has a dedicated property to control this behaviour, easily
configurable via the pom (already there) or the CLI:
{_}maven.test.redirectTestOutputToFile{_}. Set this true such that the test
output is directed to file by default, leaving results succinctly visible on
the console. Archive the surefire log output whenever the GHA CI job fails so
the test output can still be inspected for a period if needed.
Anyone that does specifically wish to have the test output still sent to the
console can get this on request by configuring surefire when running, e.g:
{noformat}
mvn test -Dmaven.test.redirectTestOutputToFile=false
{noformat}
