slf4j and classpath issue about testng-eclipse HOT 7 CLOSED

Thanks for reporting the issue, it should be solved in the latest plugin version 7.8.0

from testng-eclipse.

I am using the plugin v. 7.8.0 but I'm getting the same error:

[RemoteTestNG] detected TestNG version 7.8.0

Since I don't need this logger, I used the workaround of adding (as external jar) to the build path of the project that contains these tests the slf4j-api jar (https://www.slf4j.org/download.html), so now I just get a warning that it's using a no-op logger implementation (see https://www.slf4j.org/codes.html#noProviders for actual logging).

@SantiBailors , do you see any error on the "Error Log" view

from testng-eclipse.

seems duplicate with #559

from testng-eclipse.

@missedone I agree, what I am experiencing is definitely #559. No, there are no errors in the Error Log view after I get this exception. But interestingly, there are after I check for updates, and one is about TestNG update site. I am going to write what I got into #559.

Could you try the latest version of 7.9.0

from testng-eclipse.

closing this as 7.8.0.202308061717 and 7.9.0.202312310355 above should solve this issue

see #561 (comment)
