[@philb4462]

This is a great "how to" video. What I am struggling to find is anything that tells me "when to". Can you give some real-world examples of what you should actually put in log messages of each level? Should we log every action, such as text entry and button-clicks? Should we put a log instruction in each method in our POM files? I'm looking for actual examples rather than technical instructions. Is there anywhere I can find "good practice" advice on deciding on logging messages?

[@RaghavPal]

Phil In a Selenium Java project using Log4J, it's essential to log messages appropriately based on their significance. Here are real-world examples for each log level: TRACE: Use this for very detailed messages that are useful for debugging. Example: logger.trace("Entering method loginUser (). User ID: {}", userId); DEBUG: Ideal for logging detailed information during development and testing. Example: logger.debug("Entered username: {}", username); INFO: Use this for general information about application flow. Example: logger.info("User {} logged in successfully.", username); WARN: Indicates potential issues that may need attention. Example: logger.warn("User {} attempted to access a restricted page.", username); ERROR: For logging error events that might still allow the application to continue running. Example: logger.error("Failed to find element by ID: {}", elementId); FATAL: For serious errors that might cause the application to terminate. Example: logger.fatal("System crash due to unhandled exception: {}", exception.getMessage()); Should You Log Every Action? Text Entry and Button Clicks: It is not necessary to log every single action, such as every text entry or button click, as this can lead to excessive log volume and make it difficult to find important information. Instead, focus on logging significant actions, like: User logins Form submissions Errors or exceptions Logging in Page Object Model (POM) Method Logging: It is advisable to log significant events within methods in your POM files, but avoid cluttering every method with log statements. Focus on: Entry and exit points of methods Key actions (e.g., navigating to a page, submitting a form) Errors or exceptions Good Practices for Logging Messages Clarity: Ensure log messages are clear and provide context. Consistency: Use a consistent format for log messages across your application. Avoid Sensitive Information: Do not log sensitive data like passwords or personal user information. Log Levels: Use the appropriate log level to reflect the severity of the message -

Very nice explanation, but a beginner's question, what is log4j's use in selenium automation scripting? didnt understand that.could you please explain.

[@RaghavPal]

Meena Log4j is a Java-based logging utility that allows developers to log events in their application. Why is Log4j used in Selenium? Log4j is used in Selenium to: Debug issues that arise during test execution Report errors and exceptions that occur during test execution Monitor test execution and provide insights into test performance How is Log4j used in Selenium? Log4j is configured using a properties or XML file, and is used to log events and errors during test execution. It can be used in conjunction with a testing framework like TestNG or JUnit.

What should I do if my run as shows only 'Run Configurations', but no Java application?

[@RaghavPal]

Sowjanya If your Run As menu in Eclipse IDE only shows "Run Configurations", but no Java application, here are a few things you can do: 1. Make sure that the Java project is properly configured. You can do this by right-clicking on the project and selecting "Properties". In the Properties window, select the "Run/Debug" tab and make sure that the "Project JDK" and "Project SDK" are set to the correct versions. 2. Make sure that the Java application is executable. You can do this by right-clicking on the Java file and selecting "Run As" > "Java Application". If the application does not start, it is likely not executable. 3. Make sure that the Java application is selected in the Run As menu. You can do this by clicking on the "Run Configurations" menu and selecting the Java application from the list. 4. If you are still having trouble, you can try creating a new Java project and see if that fixes the problem. Here are some additional things to check if you are still getting the error: * Make sure that the Java project is open. * Make sure that the Java application is in the project's source folder. * Make sure that the Java application has a main method. * Make sure that the Java application is not a library project. If you are still having trouble, you can try the following: 1. Restart Eclipse IDE. 2. Clear the Eclipse IDE cache. 3. Uninstall and reinstall Eclipse IDE. If you are still having trouble, please contact Eclipse support for help. Here are the steps on how to clear the Eclipse IDE cache: 1. Open Eclipse IDE. 2. Go to "Window" > "Preferences". 3. In the Preferences window, select "General" > "Workspace". 4. Click on the "Clear Cache" button. 5. Click on the "Apply" button and then the "OK" button. I hope this helps!

[@RaghavPal]

Mounika It seems you're encountering an issue with Eclipse not showing the "Run as Java Application" option. Let's troubleshoot this: 1. Check Your Main Class: - Ensure that your main class has the correct syntax for the `main` method: ```java public static void main(String[] args) { // Your code here } ``` - Make sure the `String[] args` parameter is included. 2. Create a New Run Configuration: - Right-click on your Java file. - Choose "Run As" > "Run Configurations." - Select "Java Application" and click "New." - Configure the run settings and click "Run." 3. Shortcut Method: - Place the cursor in your class. - Press `Alt + Shift + X` to open the context menu. - Press `J` to run as a Java application. Remember to check if your project is set up correctly and that Eclipse recognizes it as a source folder -

Hi Sir, How to add AM PM along with the timestamp of log 4j

[@RaghavPal]

Rajesh Let's break down the problem step by step Step 1: Identify the configuration file Log4j configuration is usually defined in a file called `log4j.xml` or `log4j.properties`. We need to locate this file in our project. Step 2: Understand the current timestamp format Check the current timestamp format in the Log4j configuration file. It might look something like this: ```xml ``` In this example, the timestamp format is `yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss`. Step 3: Modify the timestamp format To add AM/PM notation, we need to modify the timestamp format. We can use the `a` conversion character to include AM/PM in the timestamp. Update the pattern layout to: ```xml ``` Here, we've changed `HH` (24-hour clock) to `hh` (12-hour clock) and added the `a` conversion character to include AM/PM notation. Step 4: Save and test the changes Save the updated `log4j.xml` or `log4j.properties` file. Then, run your application and check the log output. The timestamp should now include AM/PM notation, like this: ``` 2023-03-16 02:45:00 PM [main] INFO com.example.MyLogger - This is a log message. ``` That's it! We've successfully added AM/PM notation to the timestamp of Log4j -

what we learn is log4j or log4j2? plz clear m confused sir?

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Akash, this is a logging library to create and show logs during execution

[@WorkWork-ed4vc]

You have Maven Project. Why did you do this with main method?

[@RaghavPal]

Pls refer the time stamp in video for me to refer

[@Vinodmhetre007]

It was a helpful video but you should have first created config files, it was confusing at the beginning, really. There was no need to create first java class.

Thanks for the tip! I will improve

Hi, very helpful video. Hats off! I have a question though, how can I make different levels of logging for console and file in the same property file? E.g. I'd like to use debug level of logging for file but for console I'd like to have info level logging. P.S. this was an incredible video. Thank you!

How to overrite the file. Instead of appending

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Ashwini Here are the steps on how to overwrite the log file in your Java project that uses Log4j: 1. Open your log4j configuration file. 2. Find the `appender` element that you want to overwrite. 3. Set the `append` attribute to `false`. 4. Save your configuration file. For example, if you have a log4j configuration file that looks like this: ``` ``` To overwrite the log file instead of appending, you would need to change the `append` attribute of the `file` appender to `false`. The updated configuration file would look like this: ``` ``` Once you have saved your configuration file, the log file will be overwritten each time the application is run. I hope this helps

[@DucNguyen-xn5bd]

Why we need Log4j Raghav, it just display log in test run. We also can make log by TestNG or extent report, it more convenience than Log4j only.

[@RaghavPal]

There are diff ways for logging. TestNG will be good for logging test related events. If your need if met using TestNG. you can skip log4j

[@marcscherzer]

Are log4j and log4js same?

[@RaghavPal]

Hi Marc, log4js is different, check www.npmjs.com/package/log4js
