I'm using Java 11, Spring Boot 2.4.1, Intellij Idea Community Edition 2019.2. I'm using Log4j2 and trying to change color of log level in console from log4j2.xml configuration file. And I have success if I run my application from public static void main(String[] args), but if I run my app from terminal with: 'mvn spring-boot:run', then it doesn't work.
My log4j2.xml:
<Configuration strict="true">
<Appenders>
<Console name="Console" target="SYSTEM_OUT">
<PatternLayout pattern="%d{DEFAULT} %highlight{%-5p}{DEBUG=blue,INFO=black,WARN=yellow} [%c{1}.%M():%L %t] [${bundle:application:spring.application.name}] %m%n"
disableAnsi="false" charset="UTF-8"/>
</Console>
</Appenders>
<Loggers>
<Root level="INFO">
<AppenderRef ref="Console"/>
</Root>
<Logger name="com.example" level="TRACE" includeLocation="true" additivity="false">
<AppenderRef ref="Console"/>
</Logger>
<Logger name="org.hibernate" level="ERROR" additivity="false">
<AppenderRef ref="Console"/>
</Logger>
<Logger name="org.hibernate.SQL" level="ERROR" additivity="false">
<AppenderRef ref="Console"/>
</Logger>
<Logger name="org.springframework" level="INFO" includeLocation="true" additivity="false">
<AppenderRef ref="Console"/>
</Logger>
</Loggers>
</Configuration>
If I run with public static void main(String[] args), I have e.g. DEBUG log and color of word DEBUG is blue:
2021-03-08 19:04:56,357 DEBUG [MyApplication.logStarting():56 main] [My-App-name] Running with Spring Boot v2.4.1, Spring v5.3.2
If I run in terminal with 'mvn spring-boot:run', there are no colors and log is wrong:
2021-03-08 19:15:16,450 ←[34mDEBUG←[m [MyApplication.logStarting():56 main] [My-App-name] Running with Spring Boot v2.4.1, Spring v5.3.2
How can I fix it? If you need any clarification please let me know, thank you in advance!
EDIT:
Project Structure (It's my sanbox app, where I train different things). Also you can see here how I connect log4j2 to the project in pom.xml: enter image description here
My build section in pom.xml: enter image description here
Logs, if run public static void main: enter image description here
Logs, if run 'mvn spring-boot:run' (2 pictures): enter image description here | enter image description here
I tried to use another approach with color of '%-5p':
- Pattern:
<PatternLayout pattern="%d{DEFAULT} %clr{%-5p}{magenta} [%c{1}.%M():%L %t] [${bundle:application:spring.application.name}] %m%n" charset="UTF-8"/> - Added to application.properties:
spring.output.ansi.enabled=ALWAYS
But it still works only for run from 'main' and not for terminal.
