Gradle-线程“ main”中的异常java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError：org / slf4j / LoggerFactory

Question

Gradle file:

I added the slj4-api and simple into my classpath, manually on eclipse, so it works on eclipse, however when I export it into a runnable JAR File and try to run it from the command prompt it keeps popping up this error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/slf4j/LoggerFactory

Is there a commands that supposed to be ran on the command prompt or is this issue within eclipse

Answer 1

I see that you also have log4j in your dependency. Does that mean you are trying to use slf4j and log4j.

Here is a tutorial on how to do that: slf4j-with-log4j

Simply you need to add this in your gradle.build:

  compile group: 'log4j', name: 'log4j', version: '1.2.17'
  compile group: 'org.slf4j', name: 'slf4j-api', version: '1.7.26'
  compile group: 'org.slf4j', name: 'slf4j-log4j12', version: '1.7.26'

this is how you set up your project directory Standard Directory Layout

└───maven-project
    ├───pom.xml
    ├───README.txt
    ├───NOTICE.txt
    ├───LICENSE.txt
    └───src
        ├───main
        │   ├───java
        │   └────resources
        │         └───log4j.properties
        └───test
            ├───java
            └───resources

add log4j.properties in your resources, thats the directory for all your non java files.

log4j.rootCategory=DEBUG, stdout
log4j.appender.stdout=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.stdout.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{yy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss:SSS} %5p %t %c{2}:%L - %m%n

The error however can be due a refresh gradle issue. after you have your dependencies in place, Try to sync gradle and clean rebuild your project.
