Sample project is linked in #1, along with a repro step. Is anything still missing?

I understand that this is an old issue and I am just starting to investigate this. Is this still a problem?

Thanks for reporting this. Data binding base class generation was broken for library modules with android test that had views. This is now fixed in the main branch and the fix will be available in 8.0 beta1.

Thanks! Until then I have a workaround. You can put this in your root build script:

val loggerFactory: ILoggerFactory = LoggerFactory.getILoggerFactory()
val addNoOpLogger: Method = loggerFactory.javaClass.getDeclaredMethod("addNoOpLogger", String::class.java)
addNoOpLogger.isAccessible = true
addNoOpLogger.invoke(loggerFactory, "com.android.build.api.component.impl.MutableListBackedUpWithListProperty")
addNoOpLogger.invoke(loggerFactory, "com.android.build.api.component.impl.MutableMapBackedUpWithMapProperty")

Amazing #10, thank you for denoising my build :)

Quite sad it didn't make AGP 7.4.

Tip for anyone using the above workaround, you can remind yourself to remove it at the right time:

if (com.android.Version.ANDROID_GRADLE_PLUGIN_VERSION.startsWith("7.")) {
	// ... workaround
} else {
	error("AGP major version changed, review hack.")
}

Groovy doesn't care much about visibility and stuff, so you can just call the method (all hail dynamic languages! 😅):

if (com.android.Version.ANDROID_GRADLE_PLUGIN_VERSION.startsWith("7.")) {
    org.slf4j.LoggerFactory.getILoggerFactory().addNoOpLogger("com.android.build.api.component.impl.MutableListBackedUpWithListProperty")
    org.slf4j.LoggerFactory.getILoggerFactory().addNoOpLogger("com.android.build.api.component.impl.MutableMapBackedUpWithMapProperty")
} else {
    throw new Exception("AGP major version changed, review hack.")
}

Hakan, how risky is the fix that removes the excessive logging (I'm guessing not a lot)? It seems like it could be a good candidate for 7.4.2.

Jerome, what do you think?

yes, it's fine to remove it.

This is should be a fairly easy and risk-free change to cherry pick in 7.4.2. I will get on it.
