NAME

6       Log::Log4perl::Appender::TestBuffer - Appender class for testing
7

SYNOPSIS

9         use Log::Log4perl::Appender::TestBuffer;
10
11         my $appender = Log::Log4perl::Appender::TestBuffer->new(
12             name      => 'mybuffer',
13         );
14
15             # Append to the buffer
16         $appender->log(
17             level =  > 'alert',
18             message => "I'm searching the city for sci-fi wasabi\n"
19         );
20
21             # Retrieve the result
22         my $result = $appender->buffer();
23
24             # Clear the buffer to the empty string
25         $appender->clear();
26

DESCRIPTION

28       This class is used for internal testing of "Log::Log4perl". It is a
29       "Log::Dispatch"-style appender, which writes to a buffer in memory,
30       from where actual results can be easily retrieved later to compare with
31       expected results.
32
33       Every buffer created is stored in an internal global array, and can
34       later be referenced by name:
35
36           my $app = Log::Log4perl::Appender::TestBuffer->by_name("mybuffer");
37
38       retrieves the appender object of a previously created buffer
39       "mybuffer".  To reset this global array and have it forget all of the
40       previously created testbuffer appenders (external references to those
41       appenders nonwithstanding), use
42
43           Log::Log4perl::Appender::TestBuffer->reset();
