--- Comment #4 from Raj <[email protected]> --- This is a pretty unique scenario. I use a RollingFileAppender to route the log messages to a file. Following is the code in the BeforeMethod. The appender "FILE" is configured in the log4j.xml @BeforeMethod (alwaysRun = true) public void beforeCreateSeparateLogFile(Method method) { String fileName = method.getName(); String fileSep = System.getProperty("file.separator"); RollingFileAppender rfa = (RollingFileAppender) Logger.getRootLogger().getAppender("FILE"); rfa.setFile("TestOutput" + fileSep + fileName + ".log"); rfa.activateOptions(); log.info("STARTING TESTCASE : " + method.getName()); log.info(""); } By doing this, I can get the log messages per test case in its own log file. I do this because of specific test framework related reasons and easier troubleshooting when a test case fails. Now, imagine the above code getting executed in a multithreaded way. Since there is only one logger instance, some other thread can change the route of the messages. That way the messages get mixed up and end up in a wrong file. The reason why I suggested having multiple instances is because every instance can be in its own thread without affecting each other. I hope that helps understanding the problem that I am facing. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
