Spring Boot Logback in Docker Container

[anumalasri]

We are using Spring Boot 1.5.9 and logback 1.1.11 and created logback xml based on Spring Profiles.

The configuration works well in Local machine. However in Docker Container, logback is unable to initialize due to error 'Could not find an appender named [CONSOLE]'.

Docker compose has included env property : "SPRING_PROFILES_ACTIVE=dev"

Any clue what could be wrong here..?

Can you provide a complete sample please? It’s not clear what’s happening as we can’t tell which profiles are active.

[anumalasri]

Created Sample Project Repo Link, to test logback alone.

Surprisingly, its working fine. I can replicate error, only when I remove environment property for Spring Profile.

However, I need to verify my original project and findout why its not working..

[philwebb]

@anumalasri Are you saying the sample you provided doesn't yet replicate the issue? When it does, could you add some instructions to the README about how we should be running it.

If you would like us to look at this issue, please provide the requested information. If the information is not provided within the next 7 days this issue will be closed.

[anumalasri]

Apparently, it turned out this issue is not with spring. It happened due to docker configuration.
