It's not a minor issue, it causes all tests to fail with Spring Boot 2.5.2.

Any maintainer with a heartbeat still around?

🙏 anyone there?

Can confirm that causes the same issue as described by @asarkar in Spring Boot 2.3.2.

I found out a workarround in this korean website

Gradle compile ('it.ozimov:embedded-redis:0.7.3') { exclude group: "org.slf4j", module: "slf4j-simple" }

Kotlin Gradle testImplementation("it.ozimov:embedded-redis:0.7.3") { exclude(group = "org.slf4j", module = "slf4j-simple") }

Up @robertotru and Happy New Year!

Ah, glad to find out where this issue came from! For me it was not tied to upgrading Spring Boot though, but only happened after upgrading Gradle from 7.2 to 7.3.x The workaround with excluding the dependency worked for me.
