log4j:ERROR A “org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender” object is not assignable to a “org.apache.log4j.Appender” variable

Question

I am making a web app using gradle. I used log4j in this app. When I build the project I am getting error...

• log4j:ERROR A \"org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender\" obj

Answer 1

Your classpath contains 2 copies of log4j library. Exclude one and try again.

Answer 2

Adding this annotation works for me.

@PowerMockIgnore("org.apache.log4j.*")
