RestAssured : Redirect console logging to a file or a string object
RestAssured has rich features to be explored and customised. One of the things we can customize is logs. If you would want to capture the request body along with headers and the response body which definitely helps in case of failure analysis of test here is a simple approach. The RequestLoggingFilter & ResponseLoggingFilter allows you to specify a default java.io.PrintStream that is used for logging when calling e.g. log().all(). You could choose to log just the Request / Response or both. If you do not specify a PrintStream explicitly then RestAssured will default to the PrintStream defined by System.out, i.e. it will print the logs to the console. Let us look into how we can change this to write a file or a String Object instead: File f = new File(".//src//test//resources//temp.txt"); PrintStream printStream = null; try { printStream = new PrintStream(f); } catch (FileNotFoundException e) { e.printStackTrace(); ...
