Selenium Tools we use in Outbrain

Includes:

# WebDriver Log4J Appender

in Outbrain we record the video of each selenium test (we do delete the tests

that passed, and keep only the failed ones. The videos are published as

artifacts of the Jenkins build.

This is very helpful, but sometime it is not enough, we found ourselves   watching the video and trying to understand why it failed, or more precisely

what was the test tried to do just before it failed. In most cases the answers

are in the test's log, which bring us back to Jenkins. 

In order to make this process more

efficient we have built the WebDriver log4j Appener.

## How to use it

in your code you simply write log messages before / after critical points as

you probably do anyway

```java

Logger log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(MyTest)

....

log.info("waiting for spinner to show");

...

log.info("waiting for spinner to hide");

...

log.info("waiting for button to be enabled");

...

log.info("clicking on the button");

...

```

## Demo - How it works

[![See how it works](/selenium-tools-examples/images/webdriver-log4j-appender.png)](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1yvX64Rke0)

now image that all these message would appear in the browser console and will

be part of the video.
