JUnit output in Maven reports

java, junit, logging, maven-2, report

Solution

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>

Problem

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 ;-)
