francoislerall/log-test

A Maven project to test logback logging functionalities.

##Tasks

Currently implemented:

• logging to console;
• logging to a log file:
  • log files saved in ./log,
  • logs cannot exceed 3Gb,
  • logs cannot be older than 1 month,
  • a log file cannot exceed 3Mb,
  • a new file is created every day;
• different logging configurations for main and test.
• pop-up appender;
• log file in HTML format;
• dynamic logging level adjustment.

In progress:

Migration to logback

• logback uses the same facade as log4j, namely slf4j. Thus, to my knowledge, there is no changes to be made in scripts using slf4j to log.
• slf4j is a dependency of logback, thus it is only needed to import logback in pom.xml.
• logback configuration is made in logback.xml for main scripts (respectively logback-test.xml for tests):
  • log4j.properties is to be deleted.
  • rolling html log files policy is defined in the logback.xml and logback-test.xml files.
• Addition of an extended appender for the logs popped up in a window.
• Refactoring of LoggerConfig.setUp to ensure that the log level can be set in the app properties.
