I was trying to generate log file in Intellij using Log4j2. I made properties file for Log4j2 and configured it in the base class of my framework. My logs are getting generated in my project root directory without any issue. But when I am opening th log file then Intellij is showing me an error for Log format so can anyone help me to resolve this issue of Intellij.
Here is my log4j2.properties file:-
//name=PropertiesConfig
property.filename = logs
appenders = console, file
appender.console.type = Console
appender.console.name = STDOUT
appender.console.layout.type = PatternLayout
appender.console.layout.pattern=[%-5level] %d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%t] %c{1} - %msg%n
appender.file.type = File
appender.file.name = LOGFILE
appender.file.fileName=${filename}/propertieslogs.log
appender.file.layout.type=PatternLayout
appender.file.layout.pattern=[%-5level] %d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%t] %c{1} - %msg%n
appender.file.append=true
loggers=file
logger.file.name=com.framework
logger.file.level = debug
logger.file.appenderRefs = file
logger.file.appenderRef.file.ref = LOGFILE
rootLogger.level = debug
rootLogger.appenderRefs = stdout
rootLogger.appenderRef.stdout.ref = STDOUT
Here are my console logs :-
