| AW: configuring Log4J from build.xml | AW: configuring Log4J from build.xml 2003-03-28 - By Nick Pellow
Hi Erik,
I have run into your problem before! I solved it with a
small sortie of ant tasks, not very elegant.
<!-- grab the correct log4j file we need, and assign
it to a refid so we can reference it later -->
<filelist id="log4j.config"
dir="${project.tests}/etc"
files="log4jConfig.xml"/>
<pathconvert pathsep=""
property="log4j.config"
refid="log4j.config"/>
<echo message="${log4j.config}"/>
and then in the junit task itself:
<sysproperty key="log4j.configuration"
value="file:/${log4j.config}"/>
This works really well when running on windows, but seems
to fail on Linux.... If you just need something to work on
one or the other, you can tweak the value of value from
value="file:/${log4j.config}"
to
value="${log4j.config}"
HTH, and would love an even better solution for this!
Regards,
Nick.
