| 11 | <h2><a name="log">Record</a></h2>
|
|---|
| 12 | <h3>Description</h3>
|
|---|
| 13 | <p>A recorder is a listener to the current build process that records the
|
|---|
| 14 | output to a file.</p>
|
|---|
| 15 |
|
|---|
| 16 | <p>Several recorders can exist at the same time. Each recorder is
|
|---|
| 17 | associated with a file. The filename is used as a unique identifier for
|
|---|
| 18 | the recorders. The first call to the recorder task with an unused filename
|
|---|
| 19 | will create a recorder (using the parameters provided) and add it to the
|
|---|
| 20 | listeners of the build. All subsequent calls to the recorder task using
|
|---|
| 21 | this filename will modify that recorders state (recording or not) or other
|
|---|
| 22 | properties (like logging level).</p>
|
|---|
| 23 |
|
|---|
| 24 | <p>Some technical issues: the file's print stream is flushed for "finished"
|
|---|
| 25 | events (buildFinished, targetFinished and taskFinished), and is closed on
|
|---|
| 26 | a buildFinished event.</p>

| 75 | <h3>Examples</h3>
|
|---|
| 76 | <p>The following build.xml snippet is an example of how to use the recorder
|
|---|
| 77 | to record just the <code><javac></code> task:</p>
|
|---|
| 78 | <pre>
|
|---|
| 79 | ...
|
|---|
| 80 | <compile >
|
|---|
| 81 | <record name="log.txt" action="start"/>
|
|---|
| 82 | <javac ...
|
|---|
| 83 | <record name="log.txt" action="stop"/>
|
|---|
| 84 | <compile/>
|
|---|
| 85 | ...
|
|---|
| 86 | </pre>
|
|---|
| 87 |
|
|---|
| 88 | <p>The following two calls to <code><record></code> set up two
|
|---|
| 89 | recorders: one to file "records-simple.log" at logging level <code>info</code>
|
|---|
| 90 | (the default) and one to file "ISO.log" using logging level of
|
|---|
| 91 | <code>verbose</code>.</p>
|
|---|
| 92 | <pre>
|
|---|
| 93 | ...
|
|---|
| 94 | <record name="records-simple.log"/>
|
|---|
| 95 | <record name="ISO.log" loglevel="verbose"/>
|
|---|
| 96 | ...
|
|---|
| 97 | </pre>
|
|---|
| 98 |

|
|---|
| 100 | <p>There is some functionality that I would like to be able to add in the
|
|---|
| 101 | future. They include things like the following:</p>
|
|---|
