Hello all,
I am trying to figure out why logback is not writing to a file. It creates the file okay, but it is not writing anything to it.
I have the following programmatic configuration in my java code. This just reads a properties file and sets system properties out of the logback values so they can be read from the configuration.xml file. It also configures the logger from logback_configuration.xml instead of the default logback.xml
private static void initLogback() {
Map<String,String> logbackProperties = new HashMap<>();
PropertyDeluxe properties = RenoProperties.getProperties();
for (String key : properties.getKeys())
if (key.startsWith(RenoProperties.LOGBACK_PROPERTY_PREFIX))
logbackProperties.put(key,properties.getString(key));
//set system properties out of the logback values so we can reference them from the configuration file
for (String key : logbackProperties.keySet())
System.setProperty(key,logbackProperties.get(key));
//configure the logger from the logback_configuration.xml. Default is logback.xml
LoggerContext lc = new LoggerContext();
try {
JoranConfigurator configurator = new JoranConfigurator();
configurator.setContext(lc);
lc.reset();
configurator.doConfigure(properties.getString(RenoProperties.LOGBACK_CONFIG_FILE_PROPERTY));
} catch (JoranException je) {
je.printStackTrace();
}
StatusPrinter.printInCaseOfErrorsOrWarnings(lc);
}
Here are the values defined in the property file. Where base.dir is passed in through the command line as "@@base.dir=C:/project_work/reno"
@@scenario.dir = base.dir/scenarios/scenario.name
@@_outputs.dir = scenario.dir/outputs
logback.config.file = base.dir/resource/code/java/logback_configuration.xml
logback.file.main = _outputs.dir/logs/java_main.log
logback.level = info
And here is the logback_configuration.xml
<configuration scan="true" debug="true">
<appender name="FILE" class="ch.qos.logback.core.FileAppender">
<file>${logback.file.main}</file>
<append>true</append>
<!-- encoders are assigned the type ch.qos.logback.classic.encoder.PatternLayoutEncoder by default -->
<encoder class="ch.qos.logback.classic.encoder.PatternLayoutEncoder">
<Pattern>
%d{HH:mm:ss} [%-30.-30thread] %-5level %-25.25logger{25} - %msg%n
</Pattern>
</encoder>
</appender>
<appender name="STDOUT" class="ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender">
<encoder class="ch.qos.logback.classic.encoder.PatternLayoutEncoder">
<pattern>
%d{HH:mm:ss} %green([%-5.-5thread]) %-5level %-25.25logger{25} - %msg%n
</pattern>
</encoder>
</appender>
<root level="${logback.level}">
<appender-ref ref="FILE" />
<appender-ref ref="STDOUT" />
</root>
</configuration>
I’ve looked everywhere and nothing really stands out. Can anyone see what I’ve missed?
Thank you
Chryssa
