FAQ

Log configuration

If you don't have any slf4j implementations you will see a warning:

SLF4J: Failed to load class "org.slf4j.impl.StaticLoggerBinder".
SLF4J: Defaulting to no-operation (NOP) logger implementation
SLF4J: See http://www.slf4j.org/codes.html#StaticLoggerBinder for further details.

To disable this add a no operation logger to your project. As this is only required on build phase, you can use :scope "test" so that the dependency is not transitive and is not included in uberjar. Alternatively you can add this dependency to your Leiningen dev profile.

[org.slf4j/slf4j-nop "1.7.13" :scope "test"]
