Description

Hi,

this question is related to the closed LOG4J2-1316. Maybe it's still a bug, but I prefer to ask instead of opening a Bug ticket. I let the maintainer decide.

I am still facing the same issue with LoggerContextRule when it is used with JUnit @Rule in multiple tests that use a Logger. Same issue with @ClassRule, but in this case LoggerContext rule must be static. Once the first JUnit test is run, all the following tests fail with the the error

ERROR StatusLogger File not found in file system or classpath: log4j2-test.xml

Is it still related to the same problem in the closed issue?
