Reproduction

[An isolated test reproducing the test.
JUnit tests similar to the ones in the code base are extremely appreciated.]
@test
void log4j2(){
File file = new File("/Users/syd/dev-code/git-dev/java-samples/utils-sample/src/test/resources/demo.xml");
URI uri = file.toURI();
LoggerContext context = LogManager.getContext(getClass().getClassLoader(), false, uri);
}

@Pluto-syd,

Thank you for the report. This is certainly an inconsistency/bug.

Might I ask you: why do you use the 3-parameter LogManager.getContext() method instead of the more supported Configurator.reconfigure?

We need to get the LogContext of a specific classloader, so we use this method
