A way to log test execution (who is going to run/stop), FYI...

Our build on Jenkins stuck on some test. Our *large* organisation forbid access to build server...

So I want to find this broken test (seems to be DB related test with using DbUnit).

Firstly I think to run 'sed -i "s=...=...=" *Test.java"' on test sources. But this require to make fake commit to SVN and then revert history back.

After googling I found:

  http://stackoverflow.com/questions/473401/get-name-of-currently-executing-test-in-junit-4
  http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1069456/how-to-obtain-test-case-name-in-junit-4-at-runtime
  http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10222164/junit-4-test-annotation-reports-test-name-as-unknown

So getting run test name is hard task. But I found "listener" keyword so next googling take me:

  http://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-surefire-plugin/examples/junit.html

  (Using custom listeners and reporters)

and I end with implementation:

    <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>2.13</version>
        <configuration>
            <reportFormat>text</reportFormat>
            <trimStackTrace>false</trimStackTrace>
            <useFile>false</useFile>
            <properties>
                <property>
                    <name>listener</name>
                    <value>com.company.utils.LogTests</value>
                </property>
            </properties>
            <includes>
                <include>com/company/core/**/*Test.java</include>
            </includes>
        </configuration>
    </plugin>


  import java.io.*;
  import org.junit.runner.Description;
  import org.junit.runner.notification.RunListener;

  public class LogTests extends RunListener {

      static PrintStream out = new PrintStream(new FileOutputStream(FileDescriptor.out));

      public void testStarted(Description description) {
          out.println("Test started:  " + description.getDisplayName());
      }

      public void testFinished(Description description) {
          out.println("Test finished: " + description.getDisplayName());
      }
  }

Next I add profile to pom.xml and configure build on Jenkins with '-Pjunitlog'.

What is wonderful that JUnit got Listener support not so long time ago (near 4 years ago):

Are there any other ways to print test method name without putting System.out in each tests?
