Log4j2 publishes a test jar for log4j-core. The jar includes useful things like LoggerContextRule.
This blog post shows how to add the dependency for testing to maven: https://relentlesscoding.com/2018/04/21/unit-test-log4j2-log-output/ This results look like this: <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.logging.log4j</groupId> <artifactId>log4j-core</artifactId> <version>2.11.0</version> <type>test-jar</type> </dependency> And these various stackoverflow questions talk about using Gradle's " classifier" instead of "type": * https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20224260/how-do-i-pull-maven-test-jars-using-gradle * https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13188438/how-to-specify-a-classifier-in-a-gradle-dependencys-dependency This gradle man page discusses the "classifier" further: * https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/declaring_dependencies.html#sub:resolve_specific_artifacts_from_dependency I've tried adding: + compile 'org.apache.logging.log4j:log4j-core:' + project.'log4j.version' + 'test-jar' + testCompile 'org.apache.logging.log4j:log4j-core:' + project.'log4j.version' + 'test-jar' + integrationTestCompile 'org.apache.logging.log4j:log4j-core:' + project.'log4j.version' + 'test-jar' ...too geode-core/build.gradle. The result builds but if I then try to use any classes from the test jar I have no luck. If I check Project Structure in IntelliJ after making sure that my project re synced from gradle, sure enough the test jar is still missing from the dependencies. According to Gradle and SO, this should work. Is the problem our gradle mess? Does anyone know how to get this working in the Geode gradle build?
