Suppose I have a test class TestClassName.

@isTest
private class TestClassName {
static testMethod void testMethodName() {
        System.debug('My debug statement');
        System.assertEquals(1, 1);
    }
}

Where can I find the log that has the 'My debug statement' output?

It seems that:

  • Force.com shows the log of the actual ClassName class
  • Developer console shows the log of the actual ClassName class
  • Debug Logs doesn't show the logs of the TestClassName test class
  • Apex Test Execution doesn't show any logs

  • You should be able to see the logs of the test class in the developer console, monitored debug logs, and if you are running the tests from eclipse the eclipse test results window. This is probably an issue with your log levels but can you write up how you are running the tests to help us troubleshoot. – Greg Grinberg Feb 14 '13 at 16:07

When you run your test class the debug log does show the logs of even your test execution.

You have to find the user that started the test in question. The user can be found by going to Setup > Develop > Apex Test Execution and inspecting the Test run to find the email of the user.

The line will look like this:

Test run: yyyy-mm-dd hh:MM:ss, user@organization.com (n class[es])

Then at Setup > Monitoring > Debug Logs add the user who has the user@organization.com email to Monitored Users.

  • Can you share step-by-step instructions to get to the log? If I add the appropriate user to Monitored Users, the logs still don't show any activities at the time of tests. – ipavlic Feb 14 '13 at 15:48
  • Its very simple.First you have to find the User for which you are running test class.In debug log set that user and refresh.I have updated my answer too with debug log i obtained for your class.Hope it helps – Mohith Shrivastava Feb 14 '13 at 15:59
  • Hint the logs never showed any activity signifies that he is not the right user . – Mohith Shrivastava Feb 14 '13 at 16:03
  • You are right! I had to put the user who started the test to Monitored Users. One can find that user on the Test Run: [date time], [email] line at Apex Test Execution. – ipavlic Feb 14 '13 at 16:06
  • Happens !Glad that i was able to help:) – Mohith Shrivastava Feb 14 '13 at 16:07

Launch your Devloper Console (Username>Developer Console)

Go to Setup>Developer>Apex Test Execution>Select Tests> pick the testing class you want to see the debug logs from can click run.

Go to your Dev Console. In the logs section you will see the ApexTestHandler operation. Double click that log. Then check 'Debug Only'. You will see your System.debug lines.
