SLF4J and Realm 2.0.1

Hello,

I just updated realm from an older version to 2.0.1. From here, I’m unable to have my app working. It seems to be the same bug as #3018 and #3043 :

In debug mode, app builds fine but crashes at launch with this error :

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Failed resolution of: Lorg/gradle/internal/logging/slf4j/OutputEventListenerBackedLoggerContext;
                                                                          at org.slf4j.impl.StaticLoggerBinder.<init>(StaticLoggerBinder.java:30)
                                                                          at org.slf4j.impl.StaticLoggerBinder.<clinit>(StaticLoggerBinder.java:27)

@zaki50 Thank you for the fastest reaction time I’ve ever encounter after reporting a bug 👍 I just verified on our main project and can confirm that 2.4.0-SNAPSHOT is now working.

[zaki50]

@lucavitucci Thanks. Your sample project helps me a lot! Snapshot build will be deployed shortly.

Could you try it when you have a time? https://github.com/realm/realm-java/blob/master/README.md#using-snapshots (I already confirmed that your sample project worked as expected with my local build of Realm though.
