log4j.properties file - WARN No appenders could be found for logger at eclipse

Question

I tried to configure log4j with `log4j.properties' file.

All work but but I caught some strange warning:

log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (org.apache.http.impl.conn.tsccm.ThreadSafeClientConnManager). log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly. log4j:WARN See http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/faq.html#noconfig for more info.

I couldn't figure out what is wrong with this. All should work.

Content of log4j.properties:

# Root logger option
log4j.rootLogger=warn, stdout, file 

# Direct log messages to stdout
log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.stdout.target=System.out 
log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.stdout.layout.conversionPattern=%d{ABSOLUTE} %5p %t %c{1}:%M:%L - %m%n 

# Direct log messages to a log file
log4j.appender.file=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.file.file=logs/oms_test.log
log4j.appender.file.MaxFileSize=2MB
log4j.appender.file.MaxBackupIndex=1
log4j.appender.file.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.file.layout.conversionPattern=%d{ABSOLUTE} %5p %t %c{1}:%M:%L - %m%n 

log4j.appender.debugfile=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.debugfile.file=logs/oms_test-debug.log
log4j.appender.debugfile.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.debugfile.layout.conversionPattern=%d{ABSOLUTE} %5p %t %c{1}:%M:%L - %m%n 
log4j.logger.com.softserve.edu=DEBUG, debugfile
log4j.logger.com.my.app.somepackage.subpackage.ClassName=INFO

Here is struckture of project:

EDIT:

I load log4j.properties from code:

PropertyConfigurator.configure("src/resourses/log4j.properties");
Logger.getRootLogger();

Edit2:

I tried change location log4j.properties at different location as src/main/resourses or src/test/resourses, src/resourses and changed loading from code.

And always it fails:

• How to solve this trouble?

Answer 1

Put log4j.properties to bin (classpath) may solve your problem.

Answer 2

I had the same problem, and I've solved it when I put log4j.xml in WEB-INF/classes

Check this post and answer initialize log4j.

Answer 3

Where ever you put log4j.properties make sure you call that using propertyconfigurator as shown below

     PropertyConfigurator.configure("D:\\logs\\log4j.properties");    

     final Logger  LOGGER = Logger.getRootLogger();
     LOGGER.info("sddd");
     LOGGER.debug("ffff");**

Answer 4

just paste the below code.

System.setProperty("org.apache.commons.logging.Log", "org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Jdk14Logger");
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","C:\\Users\\gwda\\Desktop\\chromedriver.exe"); 
WebDriver s1 = new ChromeDriver();

This may resolve your trouble.
