Log4j2 (Groovy 5.1.0)
Description: declaration: package: groovy.util.logging, annotation type: Log4j2

Package groovy.util.logging

# Annotation Type Log4j2

@Documented @Retention(SOURCE) @Target(TYPE) public @interface Log4j2
This local transform adds a logging ability to your program using Log4j2 logging. Every method call on an unbound variable named log will be mapped to a call to the logger. For this a log field will be inserted in the class. If the field already exists the usage of this transform will cause a compilation error. The method name will be used to determine what to call on the logger.

     log.name(exp)

is mapped to

     if (log.isNameEnabled() {
        log.name(exp)
     }

Here name is a placeholder for info, debug, warning, error, etc. If the expression exp is a constant or only a variable access the method call will not be transformed. But this will still cause a call on the injected logger.

Since:
  2.2.0
