Is it possible to redirect console output to a log file in IntelliJ like Eclipse?

Question

In Eclipse it\'s possible to redirect console output to a log file using the method outlined here.

Is there a similar feature in IntelliJ IDEA?

Answer 1

Considering the scenario, where you want to capture the log obtained on console via System.out.println("log info") , you could import the following classes :

import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.PrintStream;

and set the output stream to a file like this:

System.setOut(new PrintStream(new FileOutputStream("log_file.txt")));

This will redirect all the text to the file named log_file.txt . You could also go through this tutorial. Hope this helps. :)
