Hi,
I usually just put my log4j config file in src/test/resources and it
works fine.
I would have thought that having your unit tests dependent upon an
environment variable would make them non-deterministic. Do you really
need to do this?
In any event, other threads have suggested that there are issues with
passing system properties to unit tests at the moment.

When using the surefire plugin with maven 2.0.4, I want to be able to
configure log4j for logging.
I feel as though I have tried every conceivable configuration, but
have not
yet been able to get log4j output to show up (to either the console
or a
file). It appears to be configured from the correct file since this is
output to the console:
log4j:INFO Using URL [file:/<snip...>/target/classes/
log4j_dev.properties]
for automatic log4j configuration of repository named [default].
I'm also pretty sure it's using this configuration file because it
honours
various settings (e.g. "log4j.debug=TRUE") that I put in it, and
the log
output file is created in the location I specify.
However, even though the log file is created, none of my logging
statements
show up in it from my unit tests (e.g. logger.debug("some debugging
message"); etc.) -- and nor do they get printed to the console.
Here is the
surefire plugin configuration in my pom.xml:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<systemProperties>
<property>
<name>log4j.configuration</name>
<value>log4j_${env}.properties</value>
</property>
</systemProperties>
<useFile>false</useFile>
<printSummary>true</printSummary>
<testFailureIgnore>true</testFailureIgnore>
<includes>
<include>**/Test*.java</include>
</includes>
</configuration>
</plugin>
(the log4j config file name is set at build time via profiles)
I have also tried setting <forkMode>never</forkMode>. Under the
pluginManagement section, I have tried both:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.3-SNAPSHOT</version>
</plugin>
and
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.2</version>
</plugin>
Here is my log4j config:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG, A0, A1
log4j.logger.org.apache.log4j.PropertyConfigurator=WARN
log4j.logger.org.apache.log4j.config.PropertySetter=WARN

Logging is a crucial thing that I really need to implement before
going any
further with my project. I've searched on google and nabble but as
yet not
come up with anything that's helped me solve this. Am I missing
something
here? Is there something I've misconfigured or left out?
Thanks for any help
Toni
