I'm trying to disable log output from all external libraries in logback-test.xml. Somehow it does not work as advertised, and I don't understand why.
This is the contents of my logback-test.xml:
<configuration>
<appender name="STDOUT" class="ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender">
<layout class="ch.qos.logback.classic.PatternLayout">
<Pattern>%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%thread] %-5level %logger{36} - %msg%n
</Pattern>
</layout>
</appender>
<!-- Turn off third party chatter -->
<logger name="httpclient.wire" level="OFF" />
<logger name="o.s" level="OFF"/>
<logger name="org.spring" level="OFF"/>
<logger name="org.apache" level="OFF"/>
<root level="DEBUG">
<appender-ref ref="STDOUT"/>
</root>
</configuration>
I explicitly turned off org.spring logger, yet I still see all debug output from Spring. However, if I specify different level in element, it works. Any ideas why it happens?
