Can anybody spot what I am doing wrong? I'm probably doing something stupid,
but I've been banging my head against this for a few days and am getting no
further:
I have a solution comprising two projects, a client app and a logger project.
The logger project encapsulates calls to log4net. It has a line in its
AssemblyInfo file
[assembly: log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator(ConfigFile =
"Log4Net.config", Watch = true)]
and static loggers and methods to call various loggers, eg
private static readonly ILog bllDebugLog =
LogManager.GetLogger("Matrix.Trace");
and so on.
a Typical logging method in the logger code is
public static void Trace(string message)
{
using (NDC.Push("TRACE"))
{
bllDebugLog.Debug(message);
}
}
In the same solution I have an application which references the above assembly.
The application makes calls to the static log methods, eg logger.Trace("a
message");
and the log4net.config file is in the executable directory of the application
(...\bin\debug and ...\bin\release).
It all seems straight out of the book, but try as I might I cannot get log4net
to log anything!
The bare bones of the log4net.config file is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<log4net>
<appender name="RollingFileAppenderROOT"
type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">
<file value="c:\logs\MatrixROOT.log" />
<layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
<conversionPattern value="%m%newline" />
</layout>
<appendToFile value="true" />
<maximumFileSize value="100KB" />
<maxSizeRollBackups value="2" />
</appender>
<appender name="RollingFileAppenderTRACE"
type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">
<file value="c:\logs\MatrixTRACE.log" />
<layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
<conversionPattern value="%m%newline" />
</layout>
<appendToFile value="true" />
<maximumFileSize value="100KB" />
<maxSizeRollBackups value="2" />
</appender>
<root>
<appender-ref ref="RollingFileAppenderROOT" />
</root>
<logger name="Matrix.Trace">
<!--this is for routine debug logging to a file-->
<level value="DEBUG" />
<appender-ref ref="RollingFileAppenderTRACE" />
</logger>
</log4net>
</configuration>
TIA
