What is the procedure of writing Selenium Test Cases with Log4j logging

1 answer to this question.

@Neetu, you can use these steps to write your Selenium Test Cases with Log4j logging:

Create a new XML file – log4j.xml and place it under the Project root folder and Paste the following code in the log4j.xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration SYSTEM "log4j.dtd">

<log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/" debug="false">

<appender name="fileAppender" class="org.apache.log4j.FileAppender">

<param name="Threshold" value="INFO" />

<param name="File" value="logfile.log"/>

<layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">

<param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d %-5p [%c{1}] %m %n" />

</layout>

</appender>

<root>

<level value="INFO"/>

<appender-ref ref="fileAppender"/>

</root>

</log4j:configuration>

Now include this logging code in to your test script:

package automationTestLog4j;

import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;

import org.apache.log4j.Logger;

import org.apache.log4j.xml.DOMConfigurator;

import org.openqa.selenium.By;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;

public class Log4j {

    private static WebDriver driver;

    private static Logger Log = Logger.getLogger(Log4j.class.getName());

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        DOMConfigurator.configure("log4j.xml");

        // Create a new instance of the Firefox driver

        driver = new FirefoxDriver();

        Log.info("New driver instantiated");

        //Put a Implicit wait, this means that any search for elements on the page could take the time the implicit wait is set for before throwing exception

        driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

        Log.info("Implicit wait applied on the driver for 10 seconds");

        //Launch the Online Store Website

        driver.get("url");

        Log.info("Web application launched");

        // Find the element that's ID attribute is 'account'(My Account)

        driver.findElement(By.id("account")).click();

        Log.info("Click action performed on My Account link");

        // Find the element that's ID attribute is 'log' (Username)

        // Enter Username on the element found by above desc.

        driver.findElement(By.id("log")).sendKeys("testuser_1");

        Log.info("Username entered in the Username text box");

        // Find the element that's ID attribute is 'pwd' (Password)

        // Enter Password on the element found by the above desc.

        driver.findElement(By.id("pwd")).sendKeys("Test@123");

        Log.info("Password entered in the Password text box");

        // Now submit the form. WebDriver will find the form for us from the element

        driver.findElement(By.id("login")).click();

        Log.info("Click action performed on Submit button");

        // Print a Log In message to the screen

        System.out.println(" Login Successfully, now it is the time to Log Off buddy.");

         // Find the element that's ID attribute is 'account_logout' (Log Out)

        driver.findElement(By.id("account_logout"));

        Log.info("Click action performed on Log out link");

        // Close the driver

        driver.quit();

        Log.info("Browser closed");

    }

}
