Brian Cook commented on LOG4NET-118: ------------------------------------ This bug also has the effect of erroneously deleting logs. In the example below with 1MB file size and max 3 backup files, if you have LogFile.0 and LogFile.1 from a previous run and you run a second time, the logger will begin writing to LogFile.1 and overwrite any existing information, even if appendToFile is true. This is incorrect behavior and results in a gap in the logging data. > RollingFileAppender: RollingStyle=Size with StaticLogFileName=false does not > work > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: LOG4NET-118 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4NET-118 > Project: Log4net > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Appenders > Affects Versions: 1.2.10 > Environment: Windows 2003 / Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 > Reporter: Patrick Gautschi > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 1.2 Maintenance Release > > > When using the an appender configuration like > <appender name="InfoFile" type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender"> > <file value="info.log" /> > <appendToFile value="false" /> > <encoding value="utf-8" /> > <countDirection value="1" /> > <maximumFileSize value="1MB" /> > <maxSizeRollBackups value="3" /> > <staticLogFileName value="false" /> > <rollingStyle value="Size" /> > <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout"> > <conversionPattern value="%utcdate{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.ff}Z [%thread] > %-5level %logger - %message%newline" /> > </layout> > </appender> > results in the following error message when the application is started the > second time: > log4net:ERROR RollingFileAppender: INTERNAL ERROR.
