Play Framework 2.2 log output to console in tests

Question

How do I configure the logger in Play Framework 2.2 in order that I see log output in the console during play integration tests?

The configuration for Play Framework 2.1 does not work anymore.

I have not done this yet, but you have to configure a logback configuration file. See the play documentation for additional information: http://www.playframework.com/documentation/2.2.x/SettingsLogger

Once you defined a specific logback configuration file, this needs to be placed in the test package, see this issue for details:https://github.com/playframework/playframework/issues/1669#issuecomment-24452132

See message from @benmccann: you can configure the logger in test mode by placing a logback-test.xml in test/resources (took me hours to figure out!).
