Exception NoClassDefFoundError: org/slf4j/LoggerFactory

When I build and run traccar 4.5 it doesn't start and I see the syslog file entries below. I am using MVN to do the build. Any idea on this? This is from a git clone of the 4.5 branch. I doing this on Ubuntu 18.04

The syslog entries below are running traccar 4.5 downloaded from the traccar website. I included this just because of the multiple bindings message, not sure if it provides any value.

SOLUTION

I was using Maven build system, I switched to Gradle and it worked just fine.

Can you tell me how I can do in NetBeans? I am having this issue with 4.5 version. I am not familiar with Java.

bzark6 years ago

@Sumit I never used NetBeans so cannot provide any help.

Sumit6 years ago

So what are you using, @bzark? Can you help me to share some screenshots here how to remove this slf4j error if you are using Eclipse?

bzark6 years ago

Just use the Gradle script. gradlew on Linux.

Sumit6 years ago
bzark6 years ago

No need to, just execute the gradlew script in the current traccar directory.

Sumit6 years ago

@bzark, thank you. I try to reinstall the traccar and if there is any again problem in the traccar, I'll try to execute the gradle.

Sumit6 years ago

Thank @bzark. It helped me. I have installed the gradlew from this link: https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-install-gradle-on-ubuntu-18-04/

But how did you get this error, @bzark?

Sumit6 years ago

You told - Just use the Gradle script. gradlew on Linux.
How can I do this way because traccar does not contain gradlew on the remote server?

bzark6 years ago

The original error I got was using Maven build system. If you are trying to build from source code you have to download the traccar server source code from Github.

Thanks for the response. I know this gradle is in the traccar repository but I have a linux server on AWS and there there is no gradle (installing through this link https://www.traccar.org/install-digitalocean/ ). So before uploading jar file, either I need to run gradle on local server or install the gradle library on the remote AWS linux server.

You don't need to install anything. Read about gradle wrapper.
