Log Capture Plugin for Gulp

capture logs from any other gulp plugin in the pipe.

##Installation

npm install gulp-log-capture --save-dev

##Example

capturing the call to console.log from jshint to create a XML report:

logCapture = require('gulp-log-capture');

gulp.task('lint-reports', function() {
	return gulp.src('src/js/*.js')
	.pipe(jshint())
	.pipe(logCapture.start(console, 'log'))
	.pipe(jshint.reporter('jslint_xml'))
	.pipe(logCapture.stop('xml'))
	.pipe(gulp.dest('lint-reports'));
});

##API

####logCapture.start(obj, fnName) To catch every call to console.log use logCapture.start(console, 'log') can be also used to track any other logging / writing function as long as it can be handled by nodejs util.format e.g. process.stdout.write can be captured via logCapture.start(process.stdout, 'write').

####logCapture.stop(fileExtension) stops the capturing and pushes the log files through the pipe with the given file extension. The log file name pattern is <original filename>-<filename calling obj.fnName>-<fnName>.<fileExtension> e.g. foo.js-crazy_log_plugin-log.xml

#####Note: Concurrent capturing is not supported! Therefore you should not run the task with others simultaneously.
