What is error logging? code example
Example 1: response logging
Response Logging
If you want to print the response body regardless of the
status code you can do:
get("/x").then().log().body() ..
This will print the response body regardless if an error occurred.
If you're only interested in printing the response body if an error
occur then you can use:
get("/x").then().log().ifError(). ..
You can also log all details in the response
including status line, headers and cookies:
get("/x").then().log().all(). ..
as well as only status line, headers or cookies:
get("/x").then().log().statusLine(). .. // Only log the status line
get("/x").then().log().headers(). .. // Only log the response headers
get("/x").then().log().cookies(). .. // Only log the response cookies
You can also configure to log the response
only if the status code matches some value:
get("/x").then().log().ifStatusCodeIsEqualTo(302). .. //
Only log if the status code is equal to 302
get("/x").then().log().ifStatusCodeMatches(matcher). .. //
Only log if the status code matches the supplied Hamcrest matcher
Example 2: what do you use for logging
I use Log4J for logging.
I always log important steps in the test
execution. That helps me to debug
when there is a failure.
Log4J is not a replacement for HTML reports.
