"logger.log" will never print anything with the default Alfresco logging configuration, because this causes DEBUG statements to be logged which is below the default threshold for the ScriptLogger class (default setting: log4j.logger.org.alfresco.repo.jscript.ScriptLogger=warn). You need to set the logger to debug via custom-log4j.properties file...

Hi ‌,
Forgot to mention, I already set log4j.logger.org.alfresco.repo.jscript.ScriptLogger=DEBUG on dev-log4j.properties (src/test/resources/alfresco/extension/dev-log4j.properties).

And I didn't find custom-log4j.properties, where's this file located?

If you already set dev-log4j.properties you should not need custom-log4j.properties - it is typically located in the same path. The custom-log4j.properties is meant for generic, custom overrides while the dev-log4j.properties is meant for dev-environment stuff. Never mind though that Alfresco does not differentiate between dev environments and any other environments, and it just looks at those configuration files in the precedence order of logj4.properties -> *-log4j.properties -> dev-log4j.properties

I don't use SDK 3, so I would not know if that includes something that messes with the logging configuration...

OK found it at /opt/alfresco-community/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/ -- by changing custom-log4j.properties.sample name.

Thanks,
