I'm trying to set up basic logging with logback.xml with the scala-g8 template. The issue I'm having is that for some reason Play framework keeps using the logback file in the .ivy2 cache folder. I have a logback.xml in my conf directory, but it doesn't seem to be picking it up. Any ideas? Here's the log:

It's really odd since this is the right-out-of-the-box template. Thanks!
I am pretty sure they broke conf/logback.xml in 2.6.13 in this update. If you are using that version, try going back to 2.6.12 and I suspect everything will work like you expect.
UPDATE: I believe the latest version 2.6.15 has a fix to this now.
