Dependency issue with logback-classic 1.5.29?

[eleinor]

I updated the logback-classic dependency in my project and my archunit tests started to fail with this:
Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: 'java.lang.Boolean ch.qos.logback.core.util.OptionHelper.toBooleanObject(java.lang.String)'
I checked the dependencies and I found a weird thing:

[INFO] - ch.qos.logback:logback-classic:jar:1.5.29:test
[INFO] +- ch.qos.logback:logback-core:jar:1.5.25:test (version managed from 1.5.29)
[INFO] - (org.slf4j:slf4j-api:jar:2.0.17:test - version managed from 2.0.17; omitted for duplicate)

Why pulls logback-classic 1.5.29 the logback-core 1.5.25 as a dependency?
If I set logback-core explicitly to the same version, then the issue is resolved. Am I missing something because by mvnrepository it says that logback-classic has logback-core dependency with the same version.

@eleinor Thank you for report. I suggest to analyze the results of "mvn depdency:tree" as well as "mvn help:effective-pom -Dverbose=true" commands. I don't think this is a logback issue.

@ceki
Yes, you were right. The wrong logback-core version was pulled through spring-boot-dependencies:3.5.10 pom, and it arrived under the logback-classic. I was able to exclude it from logback-classic and it resolved the issue.

Sorry to bother you with this.

@eleinor Glad to hear that the issue is resolved.
