Tests your logs using logback

You want to test what your application logging and you don't know how to do that in simplest manner, well we've logback to rescue. (If your using slf4j but with other than logback as a implementation, then you have to add logback as a test dependency with logback.xml in src/test/resources)

One (not exactly) caveat is that, for testing logs using logback we need to use Mockito for creating mock Appnder and asserting for the exact log string in argument.

Here is the actual code-

1. Create a base test class for log testing.
public abstract class BaseLoggerTest {

    final Appender mockAppender = mock(Appender.class);

    @Before
    public void setup() {
        when(mockAppender.getName()).thenReturn("MOCK");
        (ch.qos.logback.classic.Logger)LoggerFactory
        .getLogger(ACCESS_LOGGER_NAME))
        .addAppender(mockAppender);
    }

    protected void verifyLog(final String expectedLog, final Level level) {
        verify(mockAppender, atLeastOnce())
        .doAppend(Matchers.argThat(new ArgumentMatcher() {

            @Override
            public boolean matches(final Object argument) {
                return ((LoggingEvent)argument).getLevel().equals(level)
                    && ((LoggingEvent)argument).getFormattedMessage()
                       .contains(expectedLog);
            }
        }));
    }
}
2. Extend logger base class to verify actual logging
public class MyClassLoggerTest extends BaseLoggerTest {

    @Test
    public void testLogSomethingShouldLogSomething() throws IOException {
        // given
        MyClass object = new MyClass();

        // when
        object.logSomething();

        // then
        verifyLog("I just logged something.", Level.INFO);
    }
}
Simple.

Installing i3lock-color on Ubuntu

i3lock is fancy lock screen for Linux. There is i3lock dep available on Ubuntu but its not what I was looking for; I was more interested in i3lock-color . Lets see how we can install the same on ubuntu. PS: I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 Get source code for i3lock-color $ git clone https://github.com/PandorasFox/i3lock-color.git  $ cd i3lock-color Install required packages to build i3lock  $ apt install libev-dev $ apt install libxcb-composite0 libxcb-composite0-dev libxcb-xinerama0 libxcb-randr0  $ apt install libxcb-xinerama0-dev  $ apt install libxcb-xkb-dev  $ apt install libxcb-image0-dev  $ apt install libxcb-util-dev $ apt install libxkbcommon-x11-dev $ apt install libjpeg-turbo8-dev  $ apt install libpam0g-dev Build  $ autoreconf -i && ./configure && make Execute $ ./lock.sh Assign Shortcut In order to assign shortcut, install compizconfig $ sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager compiz-plugins-extra and then go

INTO OUTFILE query, How to modify & output null values ?

I tried one query (originally asked at JR) on MySQL which export the table data into a file, with a comma delimited field. The query is straight forward and replace the null column value by "\N" character, but when I want to replace that "\N" value by some other character like "0" or simple empty field like " ", its gets little tricky. Here is the base query SELECT Id, name, age FROM student INTO OUTFILE 'c:/result.txt' FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"' LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'; And it outputs like, 1, "sagar", 23 2, "anant", 24 Now suppose some 'name' fields are null, then it outputs like 1, "sagar", 23 2, \N, 24 Now to obtain my desired results, which replace this null (\N) values by empty string like, "", I tried out two solutions --1. Using CASE statement SELECT Id, CASE WHEN name IS NULL THEN '' ELSE name END AS NewName, age FROM s

GlassFish V3 admin console taking too much time to load.

If you have installed Glassfish V3 and trying to load admin console, but after signing in, is it taking too much time to get to the main page ? Do you have server.log entry like this: admin console: initSessionAttributes() Cannot refresh Catalog : Connection timed out then its time to tweak some files. Here its how: 1. Update the %GLASSFISH_HOME/glassfish/domains/domain1/domain.xml -Dcom.sun.enterprise.tools.admingui.NO_NETWORK=true This will block up the News item, the registration item, etc 2. Remove update tool jar (Backup and remove this JAR) %GLASSFISH_HOME/glassfish/modules/console-updatecenter-plugin.jar Delete this dir: %GLASSFISH_HOME/glassfish/domains/domain1/osgi-cache %GLASSFISH_HOME/glassfish/domains/domain1/generated Now start the server (bin/asadmin start-domain) and you will see the admin console won't be hang up and take you directly to main page.
