    Step 2: First we need to move the log4.properties to a separate directory that we need to create by our self with the name "src/test/resources". For that, Right click on your main project in my case is "Log4Shell" --> then from the categories choose "Other" --> then chose "Properties File" --> then gave it a name "src/test/resources". enter image description here

    Step 3: create a new file properties: Right Click on --> new --> Properties File --> File Name:log4j.properties enter image description here

    Step 4: we need to create a javaclass under the Test Package repository enter image description here
