[jira] [Commented] (LOG4J2-1316) LoggerContextRule doesn't work with @Rule when multiple tests log.

Etienne Miret commented on LOG4J2-1316:
---------------------------------------

Any hope to get this reopened? I always thought that having static loggers was a good practice and I’m not exactly looking forward changing my entire codebase to non-static loggers.

[~alebaffa] : the _logger_ must be non static.

> The LoggerContextRule when used with JUnit @Rule annotation to provide isolation between tests only logs the first test successfully.  Subsequent tests do not log at all.
> The issue appears to be with the call to `Configurator.shutdown(context);`.  It seems to prevent future calls to `Configurator.initialize(...` from working properly.  I have not seen any indication that repeated cycles of calls to `Configurator.initialize` and `Configurator.shutdown` should not create working contexts.
> As a test, I removed Configurator.shutdown and this resulted in the expected behavior.  I assume that is not a legitimate fix seeing that it would leak active contexts.
