Questions tagged [slf4j]

Simple Logging Facade for Java (SLF4J) serves as a simple facade or abstraction layer for various logging frameworks. Please also include a tag for the actual logging framework you're using if you are attempting to configure logging for your application.

The Simple Logging Facade for Java (commonly known as "SLF4J") serves as a simple facade or abstraction layer for various logging frameworks, e.g. java.util.logging, log4j and logback.

One can unify all logging across an application and the libraries it uses via this abstraction layer. Code familiar with SLF4J uses the SLF4J API directly for logging. Any existing code or libraries that use some other logging framework can be bridged to get their logging redirected to SLF4J instead. The end application at deployment time includes a binding to the actual logging framework that they are using, and can configure that logging framework as desired for all logging throughout the application.

How can I get complete stacktraces for exceptions thrown in tests when using sbt and testng?

The stacktraces are truncated - e.g. they end with [info] ... Using last or changing traceLevel doesn't help - it simply prints the complete stacktrace of the sbt wrapper. This is testing with testng (also I believe using scalatest and sl4j)
