I want to write the sl4J logs into a text file instead of console. Is there any way to do that

I would write a new keyword or method in java. something like this may help: https://www.homeandlearn.co.uk/java/write_to_textfile.html

Katalon Studio uses the logback as the implementation of the slf4j interface. Some articles on the web explains how to use SLF4J and Logback. For example, please refer to: [image] Logging in Java with SLF4J and Logback Simple synchronous and asynchronous logback.xml logging configurations using a ConsoleAppender in Logback with SLF4J. Once I have ever tried to change the logback configuration in Katalon Studio. See the following post:. [image] How can I change the message format of WebUI.comment("msg")? + logging into FILE Feature Request I have made a demo project on Github: https://github.com/kazurayam/ChangingMessageFormatOfWebUIcomment Solution Manually editting logback.xml file is not a good idea. I should modify logback LoggerFactory object runtime. I should be able to do it using Groovy’s metaprogramming feature.

Similarly you can add new appender which writes message into file by modifying the logback configuration. Here I just mention, it is possible. But it requires a fair amount of programming work.

In How can I change the message format of WebUI.comment("msg")? + logging into FILE I described how to overwrite the Logback configuration dynamically. It worked. But I am afraid that technique is not very easy. @devalex88 once expressed his opinion: [image]How can I change the message format of WebUI.comment("msg")? + logging into FILE I think a possible improvement here is that Katalon Studio will look for the Logback configuration file in the current project first. Yes, this would be the most intuitive method of customizing Logback setup. @pdokuparthi, KS v6.1.2 does not support looking for the Logback configuration file in the current Katalo project. Katalon Studio app needs to be changed.

An example log to FILE is this:
