logback-spring.xml is not working with spring boot 1.4.2

Question

I am using logback 1.1.8 with spring boot 1.4.2 as soon as I change the name of logback.xml to logback-spring.xml application stops logging. And when I use logback.xml, I cannot use the springProfiles tags.

15:55:23,459 |-ERROR in ch.qos.logback.core.joran.spi.Interpreter@153:46 - no applicable action for [appender-ref], current ElementPath is [[configuration][springProfile][root][appender-ref]] 15:55:23,459 |-ERROR in ch.qos.logback.core.joran.spi.Interpreter@154:46 - no applicable action for [appender-ref], current ElementPath is [[configuration][springProfile][root][appender-ref]] 15:55:23,460 |-ERROR in ch.qos.logback.core.joran.spi.Interpreter@158:36 - no applicable action for [springProfile], current ElementPath is [[configuration][springProfile]]

Please, suggest if this issue is faced by anyone?

Spring boot tries to load the logback.xml from classpath, In my case, though I have replaced logback.xml with logback-spring.xml it was reading logback.xml, on debugging found that one of the libraries in classpath is providing the logback.xml causing this issue

So how did you resolve the issue? Did you remove the complete dependency or is there a way to configure spring to use a specific logback config file?

In my case, it was an internal library so I had to fix its pom to not include logback.xml in final artifact after this spring was able to pull the correct one
