Configuration on logs execution file

Web Testing
13

I developed a Test Case named monitorReportFolder:

import java.nio.file.Files;
import java.nio.file.Path
import java.nio.file.Paths
import java.util.stream.Collectors
import java.util.stream.Stream

import com.kms.katalon.core.configuration.RunConfiguration

Path reportFolder = Paths.get(RunConfiguration.getReportFolder())
println "reportFolder=${reportFolder}"
Stream<Path> stream = Files.list(reportFolder)
Set<Path> childFiles = 
	stream.filter({p -> !Files.isDirectory(p)})
		.collect(Collectors.toSet())
		
for (Path p in childFiles) {
	println p.toString() + " " + p.toFile().length() + " bytes"
}

Path log = reportFolder.resolve("execution0.log")
String content = Files.readString(log)
println content

When I ran it, I got the following result:

You can see that the execution0.log file created by this Test Case is found in a location under the temporary directory that Java Runtime Environment manages. But the exact folder location of exectuion0.log does not matter much to you, as you can retrieve the location and you can read the file, as this sample code does.

I noticed that the content of execution0.log was incomplete in that it does not contain the <record> of the very last Groovy statement

println content.

Also you should note that the content of the observed execution0.log is a mal-formed XML. It misses a closing </log> tag.

I think that the monitorReportFolder does something brutal. But @testlms21102024 may find it applicable to his case.
