Hi all,

I've switched to a new machine and have somehow lost the ability to see my log4net logs in the test window output.

My log4net config is using a ConsoleAppender and a RollingFileAppender, I know that log4net is set up fine as I can see the RollingFileAppender output on disk, but I want the results in the test output window too!

Anyone know how to get this back?

Thanks Remco! You were right, nothing to do with NCrunch - but you pointed me in the right direction. If log4net can get messages onto the console or trace/debug stream, they turn up in the test output window as you say.

Thanks v much for the prompt help!

@pentop I figured it out. Instead of using the usual xml configuration, take a look at this StackOverflow:

http://stackoverflow.com...-of-using-a-config-file

This will allow you to setup log4net in code instead of the app.config. In my case:

public class Logger
{
public static void Setup()
{
Hierarchy hierarchy = (Hierarchy)LogManager.GetRepository();

PatternLayout patternLayout = new PatternLayout();
patternLayout.ConversionPattern = "%date [%thread] %-5level %logger - %message%newline";
patternLayout.ActivateOptions();

var consoleAppender = new ConsoleAppender();
consoleAppender.Layout = patternLayout;
consoleAppender.ActivateOptions();
hierarchy.Root.AddAppender(consoleAppender);

hierarchy.Root.Level = Level.All;
hierarchy.Configured = true;
}
}

then before your tests, run Logger.Setup(). This will allow the log4net output to show up in the Console.
