Update To understand more about how logback is configured you should pass -Dlogback.debug=true property to the jvm/play. This might save you hours of debbugging.

Add a file in test/logback-test.xml (needs to be on classpath so it might depend on how the play application is configured to find tests resources) with a content like

    

    
        ${application.home:-.}/logs/application.log
        
            %date - [%level] - from %logger in %thread
                %n%message%n%xException%n
        
    

    
        
            %coloredLevel %logger{15} - %message%n%xException{5}
