Lombok @Log4j2 annotation doesn't work in IntelliJ IDEA

Solution 1
So I had the same problem, I think. What I did is I installed the Lombok plugin in IntelliJ, enabled the annotation as in the link under Preferences-> Build, Execution, Deployment > Compiler > Annotation Processors. And then I restarted IntelliJ, and it worked. IDE is able to recognize log.
I tried it for log4j, log4j2 and slf4j. It all worked.
Let me know if this helped.
Solution 2
Just installing the lombok plugin for intellij works for me.

I'm using Lombok library in my project and have a problem with
@Log4j2
annotation. Not sure why but it's not generatinglog
field in theclass
.But when I'm changing annotation to
@Slf4j
it works, I can see it in IntelliJ IDEA 'Structure' tab.I'm using
gradle
as a build tool. Have few dependencies"dependencies { compileOnly("org.projectlombok:lombok") compile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-log4j2") }

Roel Spilker over 6 yearsIt could be that the IDEA plug-in doesn't support @Log4j2 yet. If that's the case IDEA will show an error message, but compiling the code should work.

rahulmohan about 3 yearsI am on IntelliJ Idea 2020.2 Mac Version with lombok plugin 0.32-2020.2. In addition to the above answer I also had to turn on log annotation in lombok plugin settings (Preferences > Other Settings > Lombok Plugin > Enable @Log support)
