logback 0.9.30 fileNamePattern does not create missing directories ------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: LBCORE-245 URL: http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LBCORE-245 Project: logback-core Issue Type: Bug Components: Appender Affects Versions: 0.9.30 Reporter: Vedavalli Kanala Assignee: Logback dev list We are using logback 0.9.30. In our logback configuration we have the need to create an appender that rolls over every day and the archives are stored in a separate directory. <fileNamePattern> tag does not seem to create the missing directories in the path. However, <File> tag under the <appender> seems to work fine. This is the sample configuration we have: <appender name="ABC" class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender"> <file>/var/abc/abc.log</file> <rollingPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.TimeBasedRollingPolicy"> <!-- daily rollover --> <fileNamePattern>/var/abc/abc-archive/abc.%d{yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH}.log.gz</fileNamePattern> <maxHistory>365</maxHistory> </rollingPolicy> <encoder> <pattern>%msg%n</pattern> </encoder> </appender> "/var/abc/abc-archive" directory doesn't exist on the file system and i would expect that logback would create the missing directory. Please let us know if there is any piece missing in the configuration that would do that job or if its a genuine bug and would get fixed sometime soon. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.qos.ch/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
