How can I change ruby log level in unit tests based on context
- by Stuart
I'm new to ruby so forgive me if this is simple or I get some terminology wrong.
I've got a bunch of unit tests (actually they're integration tests for another project, but they use ruby test/unit) and they all include from a module that sets up an instance variable for the log object. When I run the individual tests I'd like log.level to be debug, but when I run a suite I'd like log.level to be error. Is it possible to do this with the approach I'm taking, or does the code need to be restructured?
Here's a small example of what I have so far.
The logging module:
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require 'logger'
module MyLog
def setup
@log = Logger.new(STDOUT)
@log.level = Logger::DEBUG
end
end
A test:
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require 'test/unit'
require 'mylog'
class Test1 < Test::Unit::TestCase
include MyLog
def test_something
@log.info("About to test something")
# Test goes here
@log.info("Done testing something")
end
end
A test suite made up of all the tests in its directory:
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
Dir.foreach(".") do |path|
if /it-.*\.rb/.match(File.basename(path))
require path
end
end
