Donatien RIVIERE updated LOG4J2-2968:
-------------------------------------
Description:
StrSubstitutor does not properly handle a variable default value that contains
"}" character because it is interpreted as end of the variable default value.
However, this character is part of the pattern layout format, so it is very
common to expect defining a variable allowing to set a pattern, and fallback to
a default value containing this kind of character.
Example:
{code:yaml}
pattern: $\{env:MY_PATTERN:-%date{DEFAULT} %level %m%n}
{code}
This pattern is interpreted as below which is obviously wrong (and not a valid
pattern format).
{code:java}
%date{DEFAULT %level %m%n}
{code}
It would be nice to be able to protected the default value with quotes or any
begin/end character.
Please find the JUnit test case in attachment.
