Hi!

sure.. you can loop the elements in the model we accessed in the previous script and write them to a file:

Code: Select all

def logArea = com.eviware.soapui.SoapUI.logMonitor
if( logArea != null )
{
   def ix = logArea.indexOfTab( "http log" );
   if( ix >= 0 )
   {
      def logPanel = logArea.getComponentAt( ix )
      def model = logPanel.logList.model
      if( model.size > 0 )
      {
         def out = new java.io.PrintWriter( "myfile.log" )
   
         for( c in 0..(model.size-1) )
            out.println( model.getElementAt( c ))

         out.close()
      }
   }
}

if you want to make it really fancy you can prompt for the file:

Code: Select all

def logArea = com.eviware.soapui.SoapUI.logMonitor
if( logArea != null )
{
   def ix = logArea.indexOfTab( "http log" );
   if( ix >= 0 )
   {
      def logPanel = logArea.getComponentAt( ix )
      def model = logPanel.logList.model
      if( model.size > 0 )
      {
         def file = com.eviware.soapui.support.UISupport.fileDialogs.saveAs(
            null, "Export Log", "*.log", "*.log", null )
         if( file != null )
    {
            def out = new java.io.PrintWriter( file )
   
            for( c in 0..(model.size-1) )
               out.println( model.getElementAt( c ))

            out.close()
         }
      }
   }
}

regards!

Hi,

if you mean the log in the groovy-editor window, the answer is no.. there is no way to currently access that log.. but all the other logs at the bottom are available.. actually, you can even add your own from a script;

Code: Select all

def logArea = com.eviware.soapui.SoapUI.logMonitor
if( logArea != null )
{
   def ix = logArea.indexOfTab( "my log" );
   def logPanel

   if( ix == -1 )
   {
      logPanel = logArea.addLogArea( "My log", "my.log.category", false )
   }
   else
   {
      logPanel = logArea.getComponentAt( ix )
   }

   logPanel.addLine( "test" )
}

Then in subsequent teststeps/testcases you can log to this with

Code: Select all

def mylog = org.apache.log4j.Logger.getLogger( "my.log.category" )
mylog.info( "testing.." )

Since this is standard log4j stuff, you could add an SNMP appender for monitoring, JDBC appender for logging to database, etc..

Oke,

Tanks for your support.

This is really a great functionality

We will be writing a tutorial in the upcoming weeks for what Ole described. Using the SMTPappender (sending mail when a test fails) or NTEventLogappender (Writing to the Windows Event Viewer to be handled by Service Management Software) is really useful.
