How to get log messages to display in Spock Reports?

Question

I am using the Spock Reports extension in a Geb test. I am trying to find if there is any way to get the logging messages to display in the Spock report.

I have something roughly like this:

@Slf4j
class SpockReportExample extends GebReportingSpec {

    def expectedVar = "5"

    when: "I click the button."
    button.click()

    then: "The new value is displayed."
    def value = formElement.value()
    value==expectedValue
    log.info("The new value is $value")

}

I'd like to see the the log stating the actual value to be output in my spock report, but I can't find a way. I've tried sending the log at info, warning, debug, error, and trace levels but no luck. Is this possible?

You are supposed to see the entry in the report. Find the `index.html` click to the standard output tab. — Royg, Aug 30 '17 at 10:28
When I go to index.html and click on my test, I do not see the logging messages. I also do not see a "standard output tab." Is there a specific report template that has this feature? — Nicole Zeckner, Aug 30 '17 at 11:30
Do you have a navigator to the tests them self? it's a link, should be in green or red — Royg, Aug 30 '17 at 12:35
I am using the default Spock Reports template. When I click the red or green link to the specific feature spec it just dispays When: I click the button. Then: The new value is displayed. — Nicole Zeckner, Aug 30 '17 at 14:24

If you happen to use Athaydes Spock Reports you can write messages to the report by using

reportInfo "This is a message"

See https://github.com/renatoathaydes/spock-reports#how-to-use-it

This is possible since V1.4.0

Don't use @Slf4j just use println. spock, junit, and so on capture standard out and add it to the test results.

Depends on what you are referring to, the spock built-in reporting does capture it. If you mean some third party library then you should clarify that. – Leonard Brünings Aug 30 '17 at 17:01
The name of the extension is Spock Reports. I will specify that it's an extension above. – Nicole Zeckner Aug 30 '17 at 17:26
