             Summary: Allow explicitly selecting a binding
                 Key: SLF4J-444
                 URL: https://jira.qos.ch/browse/SLF4J-444
             Project: SLF4J
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 1.7.25
            Reporter: Christopher Smith
            Assignee: SLF4J developers list


The binding autoconfiguration in SLF4J is very handy, but it comes with a 
severe limitation in testing: Neither Eclipse nor IntelliJ can handle a 
test-scope exclude (e.g., Surefire's {{classpathDependencyExclude}}), and so 
for an end project (such as a Spring Boot application), it's impossible to run 
tests that use slf4j-test in the IDE.

It would be very helpful for testing purposes if there were a way to specify 
(probably in a {{META-INF}} file) the preferred logger to use in the case of 
finding multiple bindings on the classpath. Then dropping an instruction in 
{{src/test/resources}} would allow tests to run with the test logger without 
tangling classpath issues into the run.
