how to configure tox for getting the logs

Question

I am trying to use tox automating testing in my project. But I am not able to figure out where the logs or prints from my test_methods in python file goes while using tox. I also grepped the entire tox directory for logs but couldn't find it.

Questions

1) How to configure log directory in tox ?

2) What is the default configuration for logs ?

Any Pointers to the documentation and examples ?

My tox.ini file

 [tox]
 minversion = 1.6
 skipsdist = True

 [testenv]
 skip_install = True
 setenv =
     VIRTUAL_ENV={envdir}
 deps = -r{toxinidir}/test-requirements.txt

 passenv = LANG

 [testenv:test]
 commands = ./test.sh --slowest --testr-args='{posargs}'

Answer 1

it's not really an answer, but I ended up using asserts.. so instead of

print(type(x))

I do

assert type(x)==1

which gives me

E       AssertionError: assert <class 'tuple'> == 1

... so it's a tuple.. A bit crap but it works

1. There's envlogdir exactly for that:

envlogdir=path

defines a directory for logging where tox will put logs of tool invocation. default: {envdir}/log

2. By default your testrunner's logs are in ./.tox/envname/log/envname-k.log where envname is environment name (e.g. py27) and k is number of the command which actually runs your testrunner (python -m testtools.run). k==0 is envname creation log, k==1 is log for first dependency installation, etc.

Answer 3

You can use --verbose and throw error intentionaly to print out log Example:

print('HERE')
assertTrue(False)

tox -e unit-tests --verbose

Answer 4

If you use Linux, you can simply log the test using:

tox > toxlog.txt  

And the output will be in the toxlog.txt file
