Find the location in the system.out.println code
If you're using Java 8+, Durian has a StackDumper , making it easy to find where a given string is being printed:
StackDumper.dumpWhenSysOutContains("SomeTrigger")
When "SomeTrigger" is printed, this will reset to System.err
:
+----------\
| Triggered by SomeTrigger
| at package.MyClass.myMethod(MyClass.java:62)
| (the rest of the stacktrace)
+----------/
In your case (searching for an empty string) this is a little more complicated:
PrintStream sysOutClean = System.out;
StringPrinter sysOutReplacement = new StringPrinter(StringPrinter.stringsToLines(line -> {
if (line.isEmpty()) {
StackDumper.dump("Found empty line");
}
sysOutClean.println(line);
}));
System.setOut(sysOutReplacement.toPrintStream());
Now if there is something like this:
System.out.println("ABC");
System.out.println("123");
System.out.println("");
System.out.println("DEF");
Then your console will look like this:
ABC
123
+----------\
| Found empty line
| at package.MyClass.myMethod(MyClass.java:62)
| (the rest of the stacktrace)
+----------/
DEF

It may be related to some of the library, if you feel like it is due to System.out.println only then
Solution 1: Below code snippet will help you find out where it is running.
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.PrintStream;
public class CustomPrintStream extends PrintStream {
public CustomPrintStream(String fileName) throws FileNotFoundException {
super(fileName);
}
@Override
public void print(String s) {
try{
if(s == null || s.equals("")){
throw new Exception("Invalid print message");
}
super.print(s);
}catch(Exception e){
//TODO Change to your logger framework and leave it as same
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
//TODO : Change to your favorite path and make sure mentioned
//file is available
CustomPrintStream customPrintStream = new CustomPrintStream
("/home/prem/Desktop/test.log");
System.setOut(customPrintStream);
System.out.println("");
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
//TODO Change to your logger framework and leave it as same
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
Solution 2: Since IDEs are available, please contact them for help. If you are using eclipse Menu -> Search -> Find Files -> Place System.out.println (""); in search and search.
I would rather not use System.out.println in any of the code you can use checkstyle for, and be sure that therefore no developer is using them.

Example:
/** Control sysout prints */
public static void main(String[] arg) throws Exception {
System.out.println("Default"); //print normally
SysOutController.setSysOutLocationAddressor();
System.out.println("With Address"); //prints with calling location, and on click location cursor directly focus when System.out.**() called
SysOutController.ignoreSysout();
System.out.println("Ignored"); //this line will never prints
SysOutController.resetSysOut();
System.out.println("Default"); //print normally as it is (reset)
}
Just call methods of the following class which helps developers to control sysout
import java.io.FileDescriptor;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.OutputStream;
import java.io.PrintStream;
/**
* Class which controls System.out prints in console <br/>
* this class will helps developers to control prints in console
* @implSpec
* <pre><code>
* System.out.println("Default"); //print normally
*
* SysOutController.setSysOutLocationAddressor();
* System.out.println("With Address"); //prints with calling location
*
* SysOutController.ignoreSysout();
* System.out.println("Ignored"); //this line will never prints
*
* SysOutController.resetSysOut();
* System.out.println("Default"); //print normally as it is (reset)
* </code></pre>

public class SysOutController {
private static void setOut(OutputStream out){
System.setOut(new PrintStream(out));
}
private static final OutputStream CONSOLE = new FileOutputStream(FileDescriptor.out);
/**

public static void resetSysOut() { setOut(CONSOLE); }

public static void setSysOutLocationAddressor() {
setOut(new OutputStream() {

Define class NewPrintStream extends PrintStream
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.PrintStream;
import org.slf4j.Logger;
import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory;
public class NewPrintStream extends PrintStream {
private static final Logger LOGGER = LoggerFactory.getLogger(NewPrintStream.class);
public NewPrintStream(String fileName) throws FileNotFoundException {
super(fileName);
}
@Override
public void println(String x) {
LOGGER.info("xxxxxxx", new Exception("xxxx"));
}
}
Then in the main class set the output stream to stdout / stderr
System.setOut(new NewPrintStream("aaa"));
System.setErr(new NewPrintStream("aaa"));
