[logback-user] sifting appender is not compressing the last log file

[Shaul Zevin]

Email entry typo, please ignore it, it has nothing to do with the problem.

Thanks,

I have no idea if this is a email entry typo or an actual problem but you have <file>> which would try to name the file with an invalid character. I'm not sure what havoc that could cause.

Hello,

Similar problem was already reported about a year ago:

http://mailman.qos.ch/pipermail/logback-user/2011-November/002706.html

I wonder if the problem is going to be fixed in the upcoming version.
If not, what should be the most simple workaround?

The most disturbing scenario related to this bug is that each value of a sifting attribute creates just one log file.
The sift appender configuration is set for compression.
The bug causes the log file to be left uncompressed, therefore no files are eventually compressed at all.

       <appender name="EXECUTION-SIFT" class="ch.qos.logback.classic.sift.SiftingAppender">

                     <defaultValue>noname</defaultValue>
              </discriminator>
              <sift>
                     <appender name="EXECUTION" class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender">

                                  <maxFileSize>${logFile.maxSize}</maxFileSize>
                           </triggeringPolicy>
                           <encoder>
