Mihail commented on LOG4J2-2829:
--------------------------------

No thanks, I'm not into TDD.
On a quick look it seems this is tested but the test does not ensure that every 
log throws exception, only first caught exception triggers success condition:

> TcpSocketManager.write swallows IOException when retry = false or reconnector

>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Appenders

> Hi, I see very stange behavior when using tcp SocketAppender. My 
> configuration is:
> <Socket name="auditSocket" protocol="TCP" host="10.8.84.194" port="4587" 
> connectTimeoutMillis="10000" reconnectionDelayMillis="10000"
>  immediateFail="true" immediateFlush="true" ignoreExceptions="false" 
> bufferedIO="false">
> After application starts and before writing any logs I simulate connection 
> reset with:
> iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp -d 10.8.84.194 --dport 4587 -j REJECT --reject-with 
> tcp-reset
> Now the strange part:
>  # First log is written to output stream successfully (but nothing actually 
> gets sent)
>  # Second log throws IOException on outputstream write, this gets handled 
> with a reconnection attempt (which fails) and result is 
> AppenderLoggingException - this is what I expect because I'm using a failover 
> appender to route the log into file.
>  # Third and subsequent log attempts also fail due to IOException on 
> outputstream write BUT no AppenderLoggingException is raised - reconnector is 
> not null at this point and IOException gets swallowed up.

> I'm using log4j2 2.12.1
