Caleb Cushing updated LOG4J2-3031:
----------------------------------
Description:
I've had nothing but problems trying to get the code configuration working. I
hate the `ConfigurationBuilder` API, it's easier to get wrong, but I couldn't
get the "Modifying the Current Configuration after Initialization" API working.
I wish that one would support all the same initial configuration use case
(feature, I can write a separate ticket if you want).
First, there's this question https://stackoverflow.com/q/65194471/206466
```java
private static void configureLog4j(Level rootLevel, Map<String, Level>
levelMap) {
var pattern = PatternLayout.newBuilder().withPattern( "%highlight{[%t]
%-5level: %msg%n%throwable}\n" ).build();
var console = ConsoleAppender.createDefaultAppenderForLayout( pattern );
var config = LoggerContext.getContext().getConfiguration();
config.addAppender( console );
var root = config.getRootLogger();
for ( var appenderRef : root.getAppenderRefs() ) {
root.removeAppender( appenderRef.getRef() );
}
root.addAppender( console, rootLevel, null );
Configurator.setRootLevel( rootLevel );
Configurator.setLevel( levelMap );
Configurator.reconfigure(config);
}
```
ended up using the other API and it worked, though I would much rather use this
one, as it doesn't require stringy representations.
Next, I tried setting up a `patternSelector` for the root appender in another
project using the `ConfigurationBuilder`, I had no luck figuring that out, it
simply seemed not to use what I put in. Is this maybe a bug? I can add code for
what I tried here later.
P.S. I want you to know about [this
bug](https://github.com/gradle/gradle/issues/16366), but I doubt it belongs to
log4j, but maybe you know something.
