I am trying to supress logging in my Play framework test cases. One way of achiving this is to have slf4j-nop jar in the classpath instead of other implementations like logback-classic. I was able to do this in sbt as shown below here.
libraryDependencies += "org.slf4j" % "slf4j-nop" % "1.7.6" % "test"
(dependencyClasspath in Test) <<= (dependencyClasspath in Test) map {
_.filterNot(_.data.name.contains("logback-classic"))
}
But I still get the below error when I run my tests

why there is a hard dependency on logback-classic in LogbackLoggerConfigurator.scala?
This is the state of my dependencies
