How to add logback to gradle project

I need to add logback to my project. This is my test class:

public class Head implements Runnable {
    Thread trd;

    Head() {
        trd = new Thread(this);
        trd.start();
    }
    static Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(Head.class);

    @Override
    public void run() {
        MDC.put("logName", "LOG_NAME");
        logger.warn("test1");
        logger.info("test2");
        logger.error("test");
        MDC.remove("logName");
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String URL = "logback-test.xml";
        System.out.println(ClassLoader.getSystemResource(URL));
        int count = 1;
        while(count<=3){
            Head head = new Head();
            count++;
        }
    }
}

Here are my logback-test.xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>

    <appender name="FILE" class="ch.qos.logback.classic.sift.SiftingAppender">

        <discriminator>
            <key>logName</key>
            <defaultValue>test</defaultValue>
        </discriminator>
        <sift>
            <appender name="FILE-${logName}" class="ch.qos.logback.core.FileAppender">
                <file>D:/tmp/${logName}.log</file>
                <append>false</append>
                <layout class="ch.qos.logback.classic.PatternLayout">
                    <pattern>%d [%thread] %level %mdc %logger{35} - %msg%n</pattern>
                </layout>
            </appender>
        </sift>
    </appender>

    <root level="ALL">
        <appender-ref ref="FILE" />
    </root>
</configuration>

I have added following groovy dependencies:

compile group: 'org.slf4j', name: 'slf4j-api', version: '1.7.21'
compile group: 'org.slf4j', name: 'jcl-over-slf4j', version: '1.7.21'
compile group: 'ch.qos.logback', name: 'logback-classic', version: '1.1.7'
compile group: 'ch.qos.logback', name: 'logback-core', version: '1.1.7'
compile group: 'ch.qos.logback', name: 'logback-access', version: '1.1.7'
compile "org.codehaus.groovy:groovy:1.8.9"

But when I try to run main method I get:

file:/D:/my_tests/build/resources/main/logback-test.xml

Could you help me to fix this?

Solution

  • This problem stems from a Groovy version incompatibility. If your project allows, update your Groovy dependency to the newest version (currently, 2.4.6).

    Otherwise, if your project requires Groovy 1.8.9, then you'll need to add a dependency on org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-backports-compat23:2.3.5, as indicated in the Gradle 2.3.5 release announcement:

    [...] So we leveraged this version to add a new artifact, named groovy-backports-compat23. This artifact shouldn’t be necessary for most of you, but if you face an error like:

    Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.typehandling.ShortTypeHandling
  at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:372)

    in your project, then it means that a class has been compiled with Groovy 2.3+ but that you are trying to use it with an older version of Groovy. By adding this jar on classpath, you give a chance to your program to run. This may be particularily interesting for Gradle users that want to use a plugin built on Gradle 2+ on older versions of Gradle and face this error. Adding the following line to their build files should help:

    buildscript {
  // ...
  dependencies {
    classpath 'some plugin build on gradle 2'
    classpath 'org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-backports-compat23:2.3.5'
  }
}

    Note that for now, this jar only contains the ShortTypeHandlingClass. Future versions may include more. [...]
