I am performing a simple Python Django TestCase. The question is simple: I want to use loggers to redirect information (stdout) to one file and failures/errors (stderr) to another.
I know I can print stdout to a file simply by defining the logger and using it to print the messages (i.e. logger.info('my debug message')); however, I have not found a way to log a failure/error. I can redirect the output of the entire test run using Bash (of which I am semi-successful), but I know there is a way to simplify it and use loggers to do all that backend work for me.
Here is an example of my logger:
LOGGING = {
'version': 1,
'disable_existing_loggers': False,
'formatters': {
'verbose': {
'format': '%(levelname)s %(asctime)s, %(module)s at line %(lineno)d:\n%(message)s'
},
},
'handlers': {
'app': {
'level': 'DEBUG',
'class': 'logging.FileHandler',
'filename': 'logs/app.log',
'formatter': 'verbose'
},
'test': {
'level': 'DEBUG',
'class': 'logging.FileHandler',
'filename': 'logs/test.log',
'formatter': 'verbose'
},
'test-fail': {
'level': 'ERROR',
'class': 'logging.FileHandler',
'filename': 'logs/test-fail.log',
'formatter': 'verbose',
}
},
'loggers': {
'app': {
'handlers': ['app'],
'level': 'DEBUG',
'propagate': True,
},
'test': {
'handlers': ['test', 'test-fail'],
'level': 'DEBUG',
'propagate': True,
},
},
}
And let's just say I'm trying to log the following test case to the logs/test-fail.log file specified in my logger:
logger = logging.getLogger('test')
def test_this(self):
logger.debug('This message will print to the logs/test.log file')
self.assertTrue(False) # will fail
In short, I want to print errors/failures from a Django TestCase using the logger and not using Bash. Also note that I'm fine with using the default logger, but I want to define an error logger case for only test cases, and I don't want the test error case being used by default.
