SLF4J NoSuchMethodError on LocationAwareLogger

Question

This is a question that has been asked before, but unfortunately no solution seems to work for me. I am facing this exception (with abridged stack trace):

Answer 1

This usually happens when you have dependencies that both use the same transitive dependency. This means that 2 of your dependencies (or your app, and a transitive dependency) are both using SLF4J internally with different versions. But your app can only use a single version of the class at the same time so it has to choose (don't know the rules here... random?)

To solve the problem, you usually need to do a mvn dependency:tree to see which are using different versions of SLF4J.

Adding this dependency solved the issue for me
