我有一些正在测试的代码,它调用Java记录器来报告其状态。 在JUnit测试代码中,我想验证在这个日志记录器中创建了正确的日志条目。大致如下:

methodUnderTest(bool x){
    if(x)
        logger.info("x happened")
}

@Test tester(){
    // perhaps setup a logger first.
    methodUnderTest(true);
    assertXXXXXX(loggedLevel(),Level.INFO);
}

我认为这可以用一个经过特别调整的记录器(或处理程序或格式化程序)来完成,但我更愿意重用现有的解决方案。(而且,老实说,我不清楚如何从记录器获得logRecord,但假设这是可能的。)

简单的方法

  @ExtendWith(OutputCaptureExtension.class)
  class MyTestClass { 
    
          @Test
          void my_test_method(CapturedOutput output) {
               assertThat(output).contains("my test log.");
          }
  }

对于log4j2,解决方案略有不同,因为AppenderSkeleton不再可用。此外,使用Mockito或类似的库来创建带有ArgumentCaptor的Appender将无法工作,因为MutableLogEvent在多个日志消息上被重用。我为log4j2找到的最佳解决方案是:

import org.apache.logging.log4j.LogManager;
import org.apache.logging.log4j.core.LogEvent;
import org.apache.logging.log4j.core.Logger;
import org.apache.logging.log4j.core.appender.AbstractAppender;

private static MockedAppender mockedAppender;
private static Logger logger;

@Before
public void setup() {
    mockedAppender.message.clear();
}

/**
 * For some reason mvn test will not work if this is @Before, but in eclipse it works! As a
 * result, we use @BeforeClass.
 */
@BeforeClass
public static void setupClass() {
    mockedAppender = new MockedAppender();
    logger = (Logger)LogManager.getLogger(MatchingMetricsLogger.class);
    logger.addAppender(mockedAppender);
    logger.setLevel(Level.INFO);
}

@AfterClass
public static void teardown() {
    logger.removeAppender(mockedAppender);
}

@Test
public void test() {
    // do something that causes logs
    for (String e : mockedAppender.message) {
        // add asserts for the log messages
    }
}

private static class MockedAppender extends AbstractAppender {

    List<String> message = new ArrayList<>();

    protected MockedAppender() {
        super("MockedAppender", null, null);
    }

    @Override
    public void append(LogEvent event) {
        message.add(event.getMessage().getFormattedMessage());
    }
}

I also ran into the same challanged and ended up at this page. Although I am 11 years too late to answers the question, I thought maybe it could be still usefull for others. I found the answer of davidxxx with Logback and the ListAppander very usefull. I used the same configuration for multiple projects, however it was not so fun to copy/paste it and maintaining all the version when I needed to changes something. I thought it would be better to make a library out of it and contribute back to the community. It works with SLFJ4, Log4j, Log4j2, Java Util Logging, JBoss Logging and with Lombok annotations. Please have a look here: LogCaptor for detailed examples and how to add it to your project.

示例情况:

public class FooService {

    private static final Logger LOGGER = LoggerFactory.getLogger(FooService.class);

    public void sayHello() {
        LOGGER.warn("Congratulations, you are pregnant!");
    }

}

使用LogCaptor的单元测试示例:

import nl.altindag.log.LogCaptor;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;

import static org.assertj.core.api.Assertions.assertThat;

public class FooServiceTest {

    @Test
    public void sayHelloShouldLogWarnMessage() {
        LogCaptor logCaptor = LogCaptor.forClass(FooService.class);

        FooService fooService = new FooService();
        fooService.sayHello();

        assertThat(logCaptor.getWarnLogs())
            .contains("Congratulations, you are pregnant!");
    }
}

我不太确定是否应该在这里发布这篇文章,因为这也可以被视为推广“我的库”的一种方式,但我认为这对面临同样挑战的开发人员有帮助。

实际上,您是在测试依赖类的副作用。对于单元测试,您只需要验证这一点

logger.info()

使用正确的参数调用。因此,使用一个模拟框架来模拟记录器,这将允许您测试自己类的行为。

检查这个库https://github.com/Hakky54/log-captor

在maven文件中包含库的引用:

<dependency>
    <groupId>io.github.hakky54</groupId>
    <artifactId>logcaptor</artifactId>
    <version>2.5.0</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

在java代码测试方法中,你应该包括以下内容:

LogCaptor logCaptor = LogCaptor.forClass(MyClass.class);

 // do the test logic....

assertThat(logCaptor.getLogs()).contains("Some log to assert");

通过添加Appender进行单元测试并不能真正测试Logger的配置。因此,我认为这是一种独特的情况,在这种情况下,单元测试没有带来那么多价值,而集成测试带来了很多价值(特别是如果您的日志有一些审计目的)。

为了为它创建集成测试,让我们假设您正在运行一个简单的ConsoleAppender,并希望测试它的输出。然后,您应该测试如何将消息从System.out写入到它自己的ByteArrayOutputStream。

从这个意义上说,我会做以下事情(我使用JUnit 5):

public class Slf4jAuditLoggerTest {

    private final ByteArrayOutputStream outContent = new ByteArrayOutputStream();

    @BeforeEach
    public void beforeEach() {
        System.setOut(new PrintStream(outContent));
    }

通过这种方式,你可以简单地测试它的输出:

    @Test
    public void myTest() {
        // Given...
        // When...
        // Then
        assertTrue(outContent.toString().contains("[INFO] My formatted string from Logger"));
    }

如果你这样做了,你将为你的项目带来更多的价值,而不需要使用内存中的实现,创建一个新的Appender,或者其他什么。
