I’m trying to build a web application and compile it to a native image using github actions. My web application needs to log messages in a file when deployed somewhere and for that I have configured a file appender in logback. When running the build in github actions and when the spring boot maven plugin’s process-aot goal is running the goal fails with an error saying that log file /app/logs/app.log cannot be created as the directory doesn't exists. I’ve configured the path using the spring boot property logging.file.name Below is my relevant setup.

These are some details that I thought was relevant to the problem I can share more though if something else is required. I would need some direction on how to proceed to make this build successful using github actions.
Thanks in advance.
