AspectJ Integration with Spring & IntelliJ not working

[X-Posting from StackOverflow] as I might be doing something wrong with IntelliJ

I am currently working on a multi-module gradle project where all modules are dependent upon the foo-common module. foo-common is the only one that does not have a main function. I want to integrate AOP with AspectJ and in order to do that I followed the following steps from the Official IntelliJ Documentation:

• Using IntelliJ Idea Ultimate 2017.2 with the two plugins installed
• Installed AspectJ
• Created a library for aspectjrt.jar and added it as a dependency to foo-common_main and foo-bar_main modules using this documentation.
• Changed the compiler in IntelliJ from javac to ajc using this documentation.
• Enabled Build | AspectJ Weaving
• Created AspectJ Facets in the project structure for both foo-common and foo-bar with Post-compile weave mode enabled

My files look like below:

Aspect.java (foo-common module)

@Aspect
public class TraceAspect extends Pointcuts {
    private static final Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(TraceAspect.class);

    @Before("call(* com.package.foo..*(..))")
    public void calling(JoinPoint joinPoint) {
        logger.trace("[CALL] " + joinPoint.getSignature().toString());
    }

    @Before("execution(* com.package.foo..*(..))")
    public void initiating(JoinPoint joinPoint) {
        logger.trace("[EXEC] " + joinPoint.getSignature().toString());
    }
}

ApplicationConfiguration.java (foo-bar module)

@SpringBootConfiguration
public class ApplicationConfiguration{
    private static final Logger logger = LogManager.getLogger(ApplicationConfiguration.class);

    @Bean
    public DummyClientFactory dummyClientFactory() {
        return new dummyClientFactoryImpl();
    }
}

The project itself compiles and runs. If I try to modify ApplicationConfiguration.java to have manual log statements, that too works. And I can see IntelliJ using intelli-sense to point me to which advices connect to which methods. However I cannot see the logs being generated at all via the Aspects.
