Log4j2 - Spring Test logger not found

Question

ERROR StatusLogger No log4j2 configuration file found. Using default configuration: logging only errors to the console.

My hierarchy is this way

App -> src -> main -> resources -> log4j.xml
App -> src -> test -> test-resources -> log4j.xml

And My Test class runs with this configuration

@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@ContextConfiguration(locations = {"classpath*:**/beans-common.xml", "classpath:/beans.xml", "classpath:/dao.xml",
    "classpath:/service-config.xml"})

Any idea, what I am missing here?

Answer 1

Please rename the config file to log4j2.xml or log4j2-test.xml . Log4j2 will find those files if they are in the classpath. (It will look for the test one first.)

Your config files are named log4j.xml (they're missing the '2').
