Class StandardErrorStreamLog

java.lang.Object

org.junit.contrib.java.lang.system.StandardErrorStreamLog

All Implemented Interfaces:

org.junit.rules.TestRule

@Deprecated
public class StandardErrorStreamLog
extends java.lang.Object
implements org.junit.rules.TestRule

Deprecated.

Please use SystemErrRule.

The StandardErrorStreamLog records writes to the standard error stream. The text written is available via getLog().

   public void MyTest {
     @Rule
     public final StandardErrorStreamLog log = new StandardErrorStreamLog();

     @Test
     public void captureErrorStream() {
       System.err.print("hello world");
       assertEquals("hello world", log.getLog());
     }
   }
 

You can clear the log if you only want to test parts of the text written to the standard error stream.

   @Test
   public void captureErrorStream() {
     System.err.print("before");
     log.clear();
     System.err.print("afterwards");
     assertEquals("afterwards", log.getLog());
   }
 

Prevent output to the standard error stream

In general it is not necessary that a test writes to the standard error stream. Avoiding this output may speed up the test and reduce the clutter on the commandline.

The test does not write to the stream if the rule is created with the LogMode.LOG_ONLY mode.

 @Rule
 public final StandardErrorStreamLog log = new StandardErrorStreamLog(LOG_ONLY);
