logger and spaces #3722

benprim ·

I'm trying to ident some information using logger.info (extract from a log file)
I need to keep the spaces in from of the string, but looks like logger.info is triming spaces at the beginning of a string, and even if i add a char before it concats all following spaces into one

groovy:
def test ="      test";
logger.info("{}",test);
test = "_"+test;
logger.info("{}",test);
logger.info("{}",test.replace(' ','_')

Result

10:19:37,522 INFO  - Running step...
10:19:37,537 INFO  - test
10:19:37,537 INFO  - _ test
10:19:37,538 INFO  - _______test

Is there a way to force the spaces to be dispayed ?
Thanks

This is not supported as QB displays the log as html, and extra spaces will be displayed as single space in html

Thanks Robin for the reply,
Could we have a way to send a preformated or html enconding message to the logger ?

What happens if you replace the spaces with HTML tag &nbsp (non-breaking space)?

It will also be escaped right now to keep the log displaying safe. So   will be displayed as " " literally.
