How to print logs on console in Intellij?

Can't get logs to show up on console while running unit tests. Instead, I see this message every time I run a unit test - 

log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger. 
log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.
log4j:WARN See http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/faq.html#noconfig for more info.

log4j.properties contains this - 

log4j.rootLogger=info, stdout
log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender

I'm pretty sure that this needs to be configured in run configurations but just can't get it to work. Would really appreciate any help on this. Thanks!

Finally got it to work! Added this to VM options - 

-Dlog4j.configuration=file:{path-to-properties-file}/log4j.properties

as explained here by 30thh.

I had it added in my default unit test configuration, but it wasn't being picked up by current configuration.
