Subject: log4j writes numerous log entries
To whom it may concern,
I am using Selenium with TestNG to run automated tests and log4j v1.2 to write
log files...
TestNG has an @Test and an @DataProvider annotation feature that allows me to
pass parameters saved in an Excel file to my test method...
When I only have one row in my Excel worksheet, the test method only runs once
and log4j code in the test method writes to my log file properly...
When I have two or more rows in my Excel worksheet, the test method runs
multiple times, once for each row in the Excel worksheet...
Unfortunately, on the second run, every log entry is duplicated...
On the third run, every log entry is triplicated...
On the fourth run, every log entry is quadruplicated, and so on...
How do I cause log4j to avoid this issue?
See attached log file...
The material section of java code involved in the issue is below...
@Test(dataProvider="parchmentData")
public void CCRwitheTranscript(String recipient, String email, String
fileattachment, String fileattachmenttype) throws InterruptedException,
FileNotFoundException

//Console and File Logging using log4j

consoleAppender.setLayout(layout);
consoleAppender.activateOptions();
//Creates Daily Rolling File Appender - User configurable to minutely

DailyRollingFileAppender();
rollingFileAppender.setFile("CCRwitheTranscript.log");
