[Joern Huxhorn (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Joern Huxhorn created an issue   logback / LOGBACK-1245 Impossible to override logback.groovy with test configuration. Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 1.1.8 Assignee: Logback dev list Components: logback-classic Created: 11/Jan/17 12:53 PM Priority: Major Reporter: Joern Huxhorn It is currently impossible to override an existing logback.groovy configuration file with either logback-test.groovy (currently not considered at all) or logback-test-xml. The reason for this is located in the method ContextInitializer.findURLOfDefaultConfigurationFile which prefers Groovy over XML in general: public URL findURLOfDefaultConfigurationFile(boolean updateStatus) { ClassLoader myClassLoader = Loader.getClassLoaderOfObject(this); URL url = "" updateStatus); if (url != null) { return url; } url = "" myClassLoader, updateStatus); if (url != null) { return url; } url = "" myClassLoader, updateStatus); if (url != null) { return url; } return getResource(AUTOCONFIG_FILE, myClassLoader, updateStatus); } I'd suggest to change it like this: public static final String GROOVY_TEST_AUTOCONFIG_FILE = "logback-test.groovy"; public URL findURLOfDefaultConfigurationFile(boolean updateStatus) { ClassLoader myClassLoader = Loader.getClassLoaderOfObject(this); URL url = "" updateStatus); if (url != null) { return url; } url = "" myClassLoader, updateStatus); if (url != null) { return url; } url = "" myClassLoader, updateStatus); if (url != null) { return url; } url = "" myClassLoader, updateStatus); if (url != null) { return url; } return getResource(AUTOCONFIG_FILE, myClassLoader, updateStatus); } or at least into this if overriding configuration via logback-test.groovy is intentionally left out for reasons unknown to me: public URL findURLOfDefaultConfigurationFile(boolean updateStatus) { ClassLoader myClassLoader = Loader.getClassLoaderOfObject(this); URL url = "" updateStatus); if (url != null) { return url; } url = "" myClassLoader, updateStatus); if (url != null) { return url; } url = "" myClassLoader, updateStatus); if (url != null) { return url; } return getResource(AUTOCONFIG_FILE, myClassLoader, updateStatus); } That way a -test Logback configuration would always be preferred over one without -test.
