Creating a log file for each and every test case with executed test case name

Question

I am working on selenium automation for one of the project, I have a number of test cases I want to create a separate log file for each and every test case

Example : Suppose I have two test cases with names X and Y, when I execute all the test cases (X and Y), then I need to create folder (in parallel to execution) with current time stamp and inside that folder I need to create two log files with name same as the test case names (i.e. X and Y)

please help if any body having idea

Note : I am using Log4j framework with java language.

Answer 1

Use appenders to achieve this. Try the process below :

1. Write a logic to create directory at runtime with timestamp. Use DateFormat and Date to get timestamp as you need.

   File dir = new File(DateFormatObj.format(DateObj)); dir.mkdir(); System.setProperty("tempFolder",dir.getAbsolutePath());

2. Write logic for appender in each test case (or log4j.xml i didnt try that out).

   FileAppender fileApp = new FileAppender();

// Assuming your class name is your test name

 `fileApp.setFile(System.getProperty("tempFolder") + "\\" + "this.getClass().getSimpleName()" + ".log");`

3. Call folder creation method as your Test Case/Suite starts. Logs will be generated specific to your test case and all will move to folder created.

Answer 2

can we use this appender.....

testname testrun ${testname}.log ${testname}.%i.log 1 100 10MB %d{ISO8601} %-5level %C{1} [%M:%L] [%thread] - %msg%n
