Hi I'm currently using ListAppender from log4j2-core-test, to test that the logging of the project does what it should do. For that I configured a ListAppender in the log4j2 config file that is used for the tests. In a custom global Spock extension (the test framework I use), I retrieve the appender using ListAppender.getListAppender and call clear() on it before an iteration starts, so I only get the logs written during that test and it also does not overflow the RAM.
Now my problem is, that I'd like to enable parallel execution of the tests which is new in Spock 2.x. But the ListAppender naturally does not like that, as it is the same for the whole JVM. I looked into the LoggerContextRule whether I find something useful there, but - please correct me if I'm wrong - as far as I have seen it also is not capable of parallel execution as it uses system properties and static state, so parallel tests would also overwrite each other I guess. Is there something that could be used that better supports parallel execution? Would maybe a ThreadLocalListAppender help that has thread local fields for events, messages, and data? Or something else that is available?
