Logback no ExceptionInInitializerError in file only on console - scala

Question

I'm using logback 1.7.5 with play framework 2.2.4, during working I'm getting such error:
Exception in thread "Thread-5" java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError
at controllers.db.SyncDBManager.createDeviceCollectionsIfNotExists(SyncDBManager.scala)

... 5 more
But only on console, how can I catch such exception and write it to file?

Seems like an ordinary stack trace in a console printed with the sysout. Depending on your design if you want to log an exception with the Play logger you should do it in a catch block with one of logger's methods by passing an exception as one of parameters. For example:
try {
// code
} catch {
case e: Exception => play.api.Logger.error("An error occurred", e)
}
The logger level is up to you. If you don't have a catch block and want to log an unexpected exception that occurs in any place of an application you should log it in the Global object by overriding onError method.
override def onError(request: RequestHeader, e: Throwable): Future[SimpleResult] = {
play.api.Logger.error("An error occurred", e)
super.onError(request, e)
}
Remember that onError method is called only in the production mode.
