Output HTTP responses with Jersey Test Framework?

Question

Can the Jersey Test Framework be configured to output the raw HTTP responses when a test case fails? I'd like to be able to see the detailed error information returned by the server.

Answer 1

You can enable HTTP logging like so

public class SimpleTest extends JerseyTest {
    // ...

    @Override
    protected Application configure() {
        enable(TestProperties.LOG_TRAFFIC);
        enable(TestProperties.DUMP_ENTITY);
        // ...
    }
}

More details here.

This is for the latest version of the framework, currently 2.3.1.

Answer 2

You can always enable the normal Jersey logging for Request and Responses and see what is shows in the console:

<init-param>
  <param-name>com.sun.jersey.spi.container.ContainerRequestFilters</param-name>
  <param-value>com.sun.jersey.api.container.filter.LoggingFilter</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
  <param-name>com.sun.jersey.spi.container.ContainerResponseFilters</param-name>
  <param-value>com.sun.jersey.api.container.filter.LoggingFilter<</param-value>
</init-param>

Enable logging programmatically:

servletHolder.setInitParameter("com.sun.jersey.spi.container.ContainerRequestFilters"    , "com.sun.jersey.api.container.filter.LoggingFilter");
servletHolder.setInitParameter("com.sun.jersey.spi.container.ContainerResponseFilters"  , "com.sun.jersey.api.container.filter.LoggingFilter");
