Springboot项目启动报错：Failed to create converter for [%clr] keyword

完整报错信息如下：

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalStateException: Logback configuration error detected:

前因

看到网上说，可以指定日志的颜色。使用方法：在日志配置文件中的pattern节点中，加上%clr即可，格式：%clr(日志内容){颜色}

支持的颜色：

• blue
• cyan
• faint
• green
• magenta
• red
• yellow

于是我就在控制台输出试了试，没想到项目起不来了。日志配置如下，主要看pattern中的内容：

<appender name="STDOUT" class="ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender">
    
    <encoder>
        <pattern>%clr(%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS}){green}---%magenta([%thread])---%clr(%-5level)---%blue([%c])---%green([%L])---[traceId:%X{traceId}]---[%msg]%npattern>
    encoder>
appender>

解决

日志配置文件（logback-spring.xml）中，引入springboot的默认日志配置。

<include resource="org/springframework/boot/logging/logback/defaults.xml" />

原理

pattern节点中使用百分号（%）开头的关键字，都会对应一个转换器。这些转换器可以自己扩展开发，但需要在配置文件中指定关键字对应的转换器类。这也就能解释报错中的信息：

There is no conversion class registered for composite conversion word [clr]

所以springboot中颜色关键字clr，也应该指定一个对应的转换器类，否则就会报找不到对应的转换器的错误！其实clr的转换器类springboot已经开发的，我们仅需指定下即可。我们看下引入的文件：org/springframework/boot/logging/logback/defaults.xml 就明白了。

我们引入的这个defaults.xml文件中，springboot已经给我们制定好clr对应的转换器类了。
