Question

I want to know,

How can I get Junit console output to log file?

As example, I have put Assert.equals() methods. I want to know passed method and what are the failed methods also. I tried to find method to do that, but I was unable.

Answer 1

Check the Log4j Java library. It can be configured to output formatted messages to console and external files. Here are some tutorials:

• http://www.tutorialspoint.com/log4j
• http://www.mkyong.com/logging/log4j-hello-world-example

In the second one see the code with lines:

...
log4j.appender.file=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.file.File=C:\\log4j-application.log
...

This is where you put the path to the output text file.
Hope this helps.
