carifio has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Is there a simple (or at least documented) method for reporting Test::More predicates (ok, is, etc) using Log::Log4perl at say DEBUG level? Something like:
use Test::More; use Log::Log4perl qw(:easy); # initialization magic here ok(1); # results reported using Log::Log4perl::debug()
Thanks.

    No, but tying the Test::Builder file handles does the trick:

    package Test::More::Log4perl; use Log::Log4perl qw(:easy); sub TIEHANDLE { my $foo; bless \$foo, shift } sub OPEN { @_ } sub PRINT { my $foo = shift; my $logger = get_logger("Test::More"); $logger->error(@_); } sub PRINTF { shift; my $fmt = shift; my $logger = get_logger("Test::More"); $logger->error(sprintf $fmt, @_); } # ...probably more methods needed BEGIN { my $conf = q( log4perl.category.Test.More = WARN, Logfile log4perl.appender.Logfile = Log::Log4perl::Appender:: +File log4perl.appender.Logfile.filename = test.log log4perl.appender.Logfile.layout = \ Log::Log4perl::Layout::PatternLayout log4perl.appender.Logfile.layout.ConversionPattern = %d %F{1} +%L> %m %n ); Log::Log4perl::init(\$conf); } package Test::Builder; BEGIN { tie (*TESTERR,'Test::More::Log4perl') or die; tie (*TESTOUT,'Test::More::Log4perl') or die; } package main; use Test::More tests => 1; ok(1);

    test.log contains:

    2008/01/29 15:32:51 foo.pl 8> 1..1 2008/01/29 15:32:51 foo.pl 8> ok 1

    Note that the Test::Builder file handles are tied in a BEGIN block before pulling in Test::More. That way the initialization messages of Test::More are also logged via log4perl.

    Discerning STDOUT and STDERR (or TESTOUT and TESTERR) is left as an exercise to the reader ;-)
