Presumably these issues are due to the exclusive use of the TCCL in the ServiceLoader call. There is some legacy classloader stuff GoCD does that I don't really understand, but what previously worked with the StaticLoggerBinder now seems to confuse Slf4j and we end up with {noformat} Caused by: java.util.ServiceConfigurationError: org.slf4j.spi.SLF4JServiceProvider: ch.qos.logback.classic.spi.LogbackServiceProvider not a subtype at java.base/java.util.ServiceLoader.fail(Unknown Source) at java.base/java.util.ServiceLoader$LazyClassPathLookupIterator.hasNextService(Unknown Source) at java.base/java.util.ServiceLoader$LazyClassPathLookupIterator.hasNext(Unknown Source) at java.base/java.util.ServiceLoader$2.hasNext(Unknown Source) at java.base/java.util.ServiceLoader$3.hasNext(Unknown Source) at org.slf4j.LoggerFactory.findServiceProviders(LoggerFactory.java:104) at org.slf4j.LoggerFactory.bind(LoggerFactory.java:147) at org.slf4j.LoggerFactory.performInitialization(LoggerFactory.java:139) at org.slf4j.LoggerFactory.getProvider(LoggerFactory.java:421) at org.slf4j.LoggerFactory.getILoggerFactory(LoggerFactory.java:407) at org.slf4j.LoggerFactory.getLogger(LoggerFactory.java:356) at org.slf4j.LoggerFactory.getLogger(LoggerFactory.java:382){noformat} which seems basically like the Type II classloader problems of old JCL-land. Applying the workaround suggested above in just the right place to set the TCCL to *LoggerFactory.class.getClassLoader()* around the *LoggerFactory.getLogger()* call seems to work, but feels extremely brittle. Seems also related to SLF4J-544 and SLFJ-227 ============================== This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.8.0#808000-sha1:e2c7e59) _______________________________________________ slf4j-dev mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.qos.ch/mailman/listinfo/slf4j-dev
