JUnit output in Maven reports

Question

I am using Maven for my project and have following question:

I want to see the logging output of my JUnit tests (log4j, System.out, whatever) in test reports. Do you have any idea how to achieve this?

Thanks ;-)

Answer 1

I believe you can redirect the output (System.out) of test using the maven surefire plugin configuration key redirectTestOutputToFile, and then find the output in target/surefire-reports

Check more about this in the plugin docs

In one snipplet:

<build>
  <plugins>
      <plugin>
      <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
      <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
      <configuration>
          <redirectTestOutputToFile>true</redirectTestOutputToFile>
      </configuration>
      </plugin>
  </plugins>
</build>
