Class Reload4jLoggerContext

java.lang.Object

com.github.robtimus.junit.support.extension.testlogger.Reload4jLoggerContext

public final class Reload4jLoggerContext
extends Object

Reload4jLoggerContext represents a reload4j Logger. It can be injected using TestLogger, TestLogger.ForClass or TestLogger.Root, and can be used to configure the logger for test purposes.

Note: reloadj4 is based on Log4j 1.x. As a result, this class can most likely also be used with Log4j 1.x. However, no guarantees are made.
