Then please provide details. Is there a log4j.properties or log4j.xml file in maven resources folder? what's its content? — A_Di-Matteo, Apr 06 '16 at 12:27
I am using log4j.properties, and file is places in src folder — Snehal Patil, Apr 07 '16 at 06:54
it should be placed under src/main/resources then, move it there and the issue will be most likely solved — A_Di-Matteo, Apr 07 '16 at 15:21

One quick way to fix this is to add a log4j.properties file in main/src/test/resources.

Here's a sample log4j.properties file that will output logs to the console:

# Set root logger level to INFO and its only appender to stdout.
log4j.rootLogger=INFO, stdout

# Define the stdout appender to output logs to the console
log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss,SSS} [%t] %-5p %c %x - %m%n
