logback not writing to log files

I have a logback xml as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration debug="false" scan="true">
    <contextListener class="ch.qos.logback.classic.jul.LevelChangePropagator" />
    <appender name="STDOUT" class="ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender">
        <encoder>
            <pattern>%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} [%thread] %-5level %logger{50} - %msg%n</pattern>
        </encoder>
    </appender>
    <appender name="LOGFILE" class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender">
            <file>/mnt/test/testLog.log</file>
            <rollingPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.FixedWindowRollingPolicy">
                <fileNamePattern>/mnt/test/testLog_%i.log</fileNamePattern>
                <minIndex>1</minIndex>
                <maxIndex>10</maxIndex>
            </rollingPolicy>

            <triggeringPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy">
                <maxFileSize>10MB</maxFileSize>
            </triggeringPolicy>

            <encoder>
                <pattern>%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} [%thread] %-5level %logger{50} - %msg%n</pattern>
            </encoder>
        </appender>
    <logger name="weblogic" level="INFO" additivity="false">
            <appender-ref ref="LOGFILE"/>
    </logger>
        <logger name="org.apache" level="ERROR" />
        <logger name="httpclient" level="ERROR" />
        <logger name="org.test.abc" level="INFO" />
        <root level="INFO">
            <appender-ref ref="STDOUT" />
        </root>

</configuration>

My gradle entry is as follows:

build.gradle dependencies is as follows:

dependencies {
    compileOnly 'javax:javaee-api:8.0.1'
    // junit
    implementation 'junit:junit:4.12'
    // logger

    implementation 'com.google.guava:guava:27.0.1-android'
    // jjwt

    // AWS S3 related Jars
    implementation group: 'software.amazon.awssdk', name: 's3', version: '2.17.282'

    deploy files(war)
}

While I compile and deploy the loggers appears in the console output but nothing is written to the /mnt/test/testLog.log file. The reason i have given the dependecies is to make sure there is no version mismatch. Can someone let me know where am i going wrong with the gradle implementation.

Any input is highly appreciated.

you have not actually used the file appender with a real logger section - there may not be any loggers with exact name as 'weblogic' in your runtime

<logger name="weblogic" level="INFO" additivity="false">
    <appender-ref ref="LOGFILE"/>
</logger>

to test if it works try

<root level="INFO">
    <appender-ref ref="STDOUT"/>
    <appender-ref ref="LOGFILE"/>
</root>
