RE: Log4Net and MSTest

[Pelton, Brian]

Actually it is working!  But the file isn't where I thought it would be
(in the TestResults\out folder)

 

It was actually written to:

 

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\log4net.log

 

 

So the working directory is not the "out" directory as I had assumed.
Okay, well at least it is working!

Does anyone use MSTest and if so, have you had success in getting
logging to work with your tests?

 

Normally, in my application log4net is configured by a call to:

   log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.Configure(logConfigFile);

 

But, I'm writing tests for one of my library projects, so I don't see a
good place to put such a statement.

 

I thought I would try using the assembly attribute and an app.config
file to configure log4net, but this doesn't seem to work.

 

In a file called "Logging.cs" I have this;

 

using log4net.Config;

[assembly: XmlConfigurator()]

 

 

And my app.config looks like this:

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<configuration>

  <configSections>

    <sectionGroup name="userSettings"
type="System.Configuration.UserSettingsGroup, System, Version=2.0.0.0,

allowExeDefinition="MachineToLocalUser" requirePermission="false" />

    </sectionGroup>

    <section name="log4net"
type="log4net.Config.Log4NetConfigurationSectionHandler, log4net" />
