Hi, Remko!
I'm afraid that's very difficult to do, as the problem is apparently caused by a race condition. The test would have to make sure that the log file compression has already started and is still being
executed when the log system is being shut down.
But from what I can see when I look at the sources, it's quite obvious that
there is mechanism implemented that waits for the compression to finish before
the log system is shut down.
Regards,
Steffen

Hi, guys!
We are having problems with Log4j because it apparently does not wait for
currently running asynchronous operations to finish when the log system is
being stopped/shut down.
We use LoggerContext.stop() with a timeout of 60 seconds. According to the
documentation of LoggerContext.stop() this should block until the log file
compression completes:

Unfortunately that does not seem to be the case, and it leads to
incomplete (and hence unusable) log files in production.
Are there any plans on fixing this, or are there any known workarounds?
Thanks,
Steffen
