title: Jenkins build fails because it is looking for log path defined in logback.xml when executing junit test
body: <p>I am getting the following error on Jenkins when I try to do a gradle build of my code along with Junit tests:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Logback configuration error detected: 
  ERROR in ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender[FILE] - Failed to create parent directories for xxxxxx
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Basically Jenkins is trying to look for the directory specified in the <code>logback.xml</code>, but it doesn't have permission to build the directory structure.</p>
  
  <p>I am using the Jacoco plugin with Jenkins for generating test reports.</p>
  
  <p>Any help to resolve this issue is very much appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
