| 1 | +# How to use loggers in UTBotJava |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +If you develop different modules of our project like CE, CLI or else, you might need to use loggers or even add your own ones to UTBot. |
| 4 | +<br/> Let\`s see how you can work with it. 🙂 |
| 5 | + |
| 6 | +🟢**1. Find out where appropriate log4j2.xml configuration file is** |
| 7 | + |
| 8 | +It depends on two factors: |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +- Find the project you will run. For instance, for Idea plugin it is **_utbot-intellij_** subproject |
| 11 | +- Chose appropriate log4j2.xml. If you are going to run tests for framework, it\`s in the test folder of utbot-framework subproject. |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +The file is usually in the resource folder. |
| 14 | +<br/> |
| 15 | +<br/> |
| 16 | +<br/> |
| 17 | +🟢**2. Find out the logger name** |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +The easiest way is: |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +- Go in the code that you are going to debug. Let’s assume it is a method in com.home.utbot.framework.plugin.api.UtBotTestCaseGenerator. |
| 22 | +- Find out if there is a KotlinLogging object that is used to create a **logger** |
| 23 | +- If such a logger exists, use the fully qualified class name as the logger name in the next steps |
| 24 | +<br/> |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +🟢**3. Add logger** |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +Open log4j2.xml and add the logger in the loggers section like this |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +``` |
| 31 | +<Logger name=" com.home.utbot.framework.plugin.api.UtBotTestCaseGenerator " level="info"> |
| 32 | + <AppenderRef ref="Console"/> |
| 33 | +</Logger> |
| 34 | +``` |
| 35 | +<br/> |
| 36 | +<br/> |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +🟢**4. Logger level** |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +Depending on the desired amount of information, change the **level** attribute. If you do not see output in the console, the wrong level value could be the reason. The **trace** is most verbose level. |
| 41 | +<br/> |
| 42 | +<br/> |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +🟢**5. Output** |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +Sometimes the logging information could be printed in a wrong destination. In that case, change the AppenderRef tag. It can be used with Console value or some other value (for instance, FrameworkAppender) |
| 47 | +<br/> |
| 48 | +<br/> |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +🟢**6. Message format** |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +If you do not like the format for logging output, you can change it in PatternLayout tag (see log4j2.xml in utbot-framework/src/test/resources/) |
| 53 | +<br/> |
| 54 | +<br/> |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +🟢**7. Multiple loggers** |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +Sometimes it is handy to add an extra logger to a Kotlin class in order to log different functionality independently. |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +The primary logger is usually defined as |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +`private val logger = KotlinLogging.logger {} ` |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +You may add an extra logger |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | +`private val timeoutLogger = KotlinLogging.logger(logger.name + ".timeout") ` |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | +Having this logger, you can use it in code with different log levels in parallel with the primary logger. |
| 71 | +<br/> |
| 72 | +<br/> |
| 73 | + |
| 74 | +🟢**7.1 To enable the logger** |
| 75 | + |
| 76 | +1. Go to the file you are currently working on |
| 77 | +2. Select the file in the project tab (alt-f1) |
| 78 | +3. Find the closest log4j2.xml file (usually it is located in the resources file), enable the logger with a desirable log level |
| 79 | + |
| 80 | + |
| 81 | +`<Logger name="com.huawei.utbot.engine.UtBotSymbolicEngine.timeout" level="debug"/>` |
| 82 | + |
