Spring Boot - no log file written (logging.file is not respected)

Question

I use Spring Boot and want it to write log output to a file.

According to the docs, this is simply done by setting

logging.file=filename.log
<         


        

Answer 1

I was also facing same issues, since i just copied the path as windows(uses "\" in path) provide.

Fixed just by changing : back slash ("\") to forward slash ("/") in path.

Note: Strictly forward slash ("/") should be used in path, OS is not the constraint.

ex:- logging.file.name=D:/Logs/server.log
