posuhov opened a new issue, #1645:
URL: https://github.com/apache/logging-log4j2/issues/1645
## Description
My application is running on SpringBoot 2.7.13. I have an appender defined
like
```
Configuration:
status: warn
appenders:
RollingFile:
- name: LogToRollingFileWithPattern
filePattern: application-%i.log
PatternLayout:
Pattern: "%level %d{DEFAULT_MICROS} [%t] %c{1}
%X{AWS-XRAY-TRACE-ID} - %msg%n"
Policies:
SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy:
size: 1MB
DirectWriteRolloverStrategy:
maxFiles: 5
Loggers:
Root:
level: info
AppenderRef:
- ref: LogToRollingFileWithPattern
```
Once I start the application the exception is printed in console and file
are not created.
Everything works with DefaultRolloverStrategy and files are created as
expected
## Configuration
**Version:** 2.17.2
**Operating system:** Windows 10
**JDK:** JDK 17

## Reproduction
Errors appears right after application start. It happens during creation a
directory for logs
However if we replace `file.getParentFile()` with
`file.getAbsoluteFile().getParentFile()` it returns a correct non null File
