Claus Ibsen resolved CAMEL-24701.
---------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
> camel-jbang - logging.level.root in application.properties produces a second
> log4j root logger and breaks the CLI log layout
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CAMEL-24701
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-24701
> Project: Camel
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: camel-jbang
> Reporter: Claus Ibsen
> Assignee: Claus Ibsen
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 4.23.0
>
>
> camel run with an application.properties that contains
> {code}
> logging.level.root=WARN
> {code}
> prints at startup
> {noformat}
> main ERROR Unable to invoke factory method in class
> org.apache.logging.log4j.core.config.LoggersPlugin for element Loggers:
> java.lang.IllegalStateException: Configuration has multiple root loggers.
> There can be only one.
> {noformat}
> and log4j falls back to its default configuration, so the Camel CLI log
> layout (colors, the "el.impl.engine.AbstractCamelContext : Routes startup"
> format, the log file) is lost for the whole run. The route itself starts.
> Reproduced on 4.23.0-SNAPSHOT with a one-line timer route and only that
> property.
> Cause: Run.configureLogging turns every logging.level.<name> key into a
> logging category, and RuntimeUtil.configureLog writes each category as
> logger.customN.name=<name> / logger.customN.level=<level>. For the name
> "root" this adds a second root logger next to the rootLogger already defined
> in the log4j2 template.
> logging.level.root is the Spring Boot spelling for the root level and is what
> people (and LLMs) write by habit; quarkus.log.level would be the Quarkus
> equivalent. Suggested fix: in configureLogging, treat root (and
> quarkus.log.level) as the root level, that is set loggingOptions.loggingLevel
> (unless --logging-level was given explicitly) instead of adding a category; a
> test in camel-jbang-core for RuntimeUtil.configureLog with a "root=WARN"
> category would catch the regression.
> Found on 2026-09-12 in the AI authoring benchmark: a local model wrote
> logging.level.root=WARN into application.properties, which is a reasonable
> thing to write.
