RedDeer logging system

jpeterka edited this page May 21, 2015 · 16 revisions

Logging in RedDeer is similar to any other logging system like log4j with some differences. On the one hand it is much more simple and doesn't require any xml configuration. On the other hand it doesn't provide as fine and complex possibilities as log4j does. It also brings some additional logging types which are not available in log4j and which are handy for UI testing.

Using the logger

When you want to use the logger in your your class you just must define Logger from org.jboss.reddeer.common.logging package.

private final Logger log = Logger.getLogger(WorkbenchPreferenceDialog.class);

then you can log your messages by using the logger

log.info("Server " + serverName + " is started");

Log types
