Hi,
I wrote a mock log4net appender to ensure that my unit tests fails when
some errors are (sometimes silently) logged through log4net.
Sample usage in NUnit style:
[SetUp]
public void SetUp()
{
DOMConfigurator.Configure();
// create a mock log4net appender to verify that no error is outputted
mockLog4netAppender = new MockLog4netAppender();
// expect zero errors
mockLog4netAppender.ExpectErrors(0);
mockLog4netAppender.RegisterAppender();
}
[TearDown]
public void TearDown()
{
// verify that no error was outputed by log4net
mockLog4netAppender.Verify();
}
Current implementation is very basic, and depends upon NMock; it's
actually a specialized DynamicMock, so specific expectations can be
added in each test when required.
Is there some interest for including tools of this kind in the log4net
distribution (either as a static mock, or a dynamic mock) ? Or is
there an already available feature which could provide the same
service ?
