Hi, i have the absolut identical file for Windows which works as expected (logging), but not for linux:

There is just no logging - i started everything as root. Even when i use the FileAppender with its file name property set to "somelog.log" or "/root/somelog.log" it just saves nothing and i have no idea why.

I used updatedb && locate to find a file called like this but there was nothing. Also lsof with a grep find nothing opened. So it is really not logging.

I added the directory of the project to the libraries (in Netbeans) and it was working as expected. Now i need to find a way how i can configure this (extending classpath that the logback.xml is found) in the productive system. Thanks! 2012/8/27 Wu, Jun 2 <Jun2.Wu@cibc.com>:

Let's say you logback.xml is in the lib folder and lib folder full path suppose as "/opt/TestApp/lib"

Your classpath should include /opt/testApp/lib

I could be wrong, but I seem to recall that you cannot use the -cp flag when using -jar. I think it tries to get the classpath from the JAR's manifest.

The problem is that its not reliable to put the logback.xml into the jar. Is there a way to do that with command line? I tried with java -cp . -jar dist\AntTest.jar which was also not working. The logback.xml was located in .

The "lib" folder is generally not on the classpath; however, JARs within the folder are. If you know that other libraries are being successfully loaded from the "lib" folder, then one thing to try is to create a minimal JAR containing just logback.xml. The other option would be to just package logback.xml with the rest of your application code (which is what Maven does with items under src/main/resources by default).

How to reproduce:

Create a new Java Application in Netbeans with following content:

package com.logbackanttest;

import ch.qos.logback.classic.LoggerContext; import ch.qos.logback.core.util.StatusPrinter; import org.slf4j.Logger; import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory;

public class LogbackAntTest { private static final Logger LOG = LoggerFactory.getLogger(LogbackAntTest.class); /** * @param args the command line arguments */ public static void main(String[] args) { LOG.trace("TRACING"); LOG.error("ERROR"); LoggerContext lc = (LoggerContext) LoggerFactory.getILoggerFactory(); // print logback's internal status StatusPrinter.print(lc);

} }

Now try to get it working ;)

I really tried alot, but it makes no difference where i copy the logback.xml into. I tried it with the dist/ folder, with the lib folder (which must be in the classpath, otherwise the application would not start at all). I have absolutly no idea whats going on - i guess with maven it just copies the logback.xml into the jar and uses that (i created a jar-with-dependencies).

I was able to easily get it working with maven when i copied the file into my resources folder, but it is not working with ant. Somehow it is not found, in that case all debugging options in the xml makes no sense as this is just not found.

I tested it with StatusPrinter and printing the LoggerContext:

run: 12:58:06.590 [main] ERROR com.logbackanttest.LogbackAntTest - ERROR 12:58:06,545 |-INFO in ch.qos.logback.classic.LoggerContext[default] - Could NOT find resource [logback.groovy] 12:58:06,545 |-INFO in ch.qos.logback.classic.LoggerContext[default] - Could NOT find resource [logback-test.xml] 12:58:06,545 |-INFO in ch.qos.logback.classic.LoggerContext[default] - Could NOT find resource [logback.xml] 12:58:06,546 |-INFO in ch.qos.logback.classic.LoggerContext[default] - Setting up default configuration.

I am currently in the project root directory, where a logback.xml is located. Also the dist folder (created by netbeans) contains a logback.xml and inside this dist folder the folder lib is created (containing the 3 jars, logback common, classic and slf4j) where also a logback.xml is located.

The problem is that the software is running productive on customer side, so there is no way to just deinstall the application and reinstall it...

* What version of logback and slf4j are you using? logback 1.0.6 (classic and core), slf4j-api 1.6.5

* Which flavor (and version) of Linux are you running? CentOS 5.8 and 6.3

* Does the same problem occur when you try your logback config in a simple HelloWorld app (outside of install4j)? Just tried it with creating a standalone jar from maven (jar-with-dependencies) and its working as expected but its embedded now. will check this in a few moments.

Have you enabled automatic printing of status messages in case of warming or errors?

(see

http://logback.qos.ch/manual/configuration.html#automaticStatusPrinting)

It will go to your console.

Hi, i have the absolut identical file for Windows which works as expected (logging), but not for linux:

http://rifers.org/paste/show/1801

There is just no logging - i started everything as root. Even when i use the FileAppender with its file name property set to "somelog.log" or "/root/somelog.log" it just saves nothing and i have no idea why.

I used updatedb && locate to find a file called like this but there was nothing. Also lsof with a grep find nothing opened. So it is really not logging.

Regards, Oli

Your config for the RollingFileAppender is missing the <file> element. The manual contains a good example of all the necessary elements [1]. logback should print a warning in the debug output for this.

It would be helpful if you provided additional details to reproduce the problem:

* What version of logback and slf4j are you using?

* Which flavor (and version) of Linux are you running?

* Does the same problem occur when you try your logback config in a simple HelloWorld app (outside of install4j)?

FYI, your logback config works (writes to a file) for me in Android.

It looks like Install4j supports a console [2], when running the installer with "-c". It might be worth seeing if logback's debug-output prints in that console.
