Hi Kafka devs, I've been trying to debug Kafka locally. I've been following the guides available on the website/confluence, which are:
- Installing gradle (already have Java and Scala) - git clone kafka - cd git repository - gradle - ./gradlew idea I then open IntellIJ IDEA and open the kafka repository. It works! The only problem is that it refuses to log anything. I have verified that Log4j JAR is in the classpath In this case I've purposely removed log4j12:1.7.21 because some Stackoverflow answers suggested using 1 and only 1 logging framework JAR. It still outputs the same error message. I also tried to specify the configurationFile explicitly using -Dlog4j.configurationFile=config/log4j.properties (even though Log4J should default to an Appender otherwise), it didn't work still (which is to be expected I guess since SLF4J can't even find the Log4J implementation). Not sure if anyone has any ideas or ran into this issue when running Kafka from IntelliJ locally? I've been stuck on it for quite some time. If I debug and check LoggerFactory#findPossibleStaticLoggerBinderPathSet(), it's not able to find the SLF4J implementation. Is there anything else I need to setup, or does Kafka log somewhere else? Thanks!! Lerh
