NoSuchMethodError

[snowbldr]

I'm using the logback extension for newrelic and java agent version 6.4.2.

When I try to start up my spring boot application it fails to start with the following stack trace:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: 'java.util.Map com.newrelic.api.agent.Agent.getLinkingMetadata()'

I've had to disable newrelic logging for now.

@snowbldr thanks for letting us know about this issue

Does the issue occur in multiple environments (eg: dev, qa & prod)?

Are you able to try this with the latest version of our agent (maybe in a non-prod env) and let us know what happens?
