logger4j IsTracingEnabled
grails, java, trace
Solution
It seems that Groovy is binding it's own slf4j-log4j bridge to `Spring`'s slf4j logging framework and that is calling a method on the version of log4j in your classpath that doesn't exist.
According to this the method it wants to call, `org.apache.log4j.Logger.isTraceEnabled()`, wasn't added until version 1.2.12 of log4j so make sure the version you have in the classpath is that or newer.
Problem
Getting this Grails error in IntelliJ, never seen it before. I am running Grails 2.2.1 ``` | Error Fatal error during compilation java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.log4j.Logger.isTraceEnabled()Z (NOTE: Stack trace has been filtered.
