How to Use Log4Net on Windows Service / Console app #338

Hello,

I am having problem to use the Abp.Logging.LogHelper class on console apps. On my WebSite log works fine, I do the same process for my windows service app but don't work.

Heres how I initialize my service:

public static void Main(String[] args)
        {
            IocManager.Instance.IocContainer.AddFacility<LoggingFacility>(f => f.UseLog4Net().WithConfig("log4net.config"));

                using (var bootstrapper = new AbpBootstrapper())
                {
                    bootstrapper.Initialize();
                    iocManager = bootstrapper.IocManager;

                    LogHelper.Logger.Info("Start");

                    StartLoop();
                }
        }

I dont get any error, the LogHelper.Logger has all parameters false, so doesn't log.

On Web is like this, and works fine: protected override void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e) { IocManager.Instance.IocContainer.AddFacility<LoggingFacility>(f => f.UseLog4Net().WithConfig("log4net.config")); base.Application_Start(sender, e); ... }

Both log4net.config are the same, Am I missing something?

Thanks

    Short answer: Select log4net.config in the console project, open properties (F4) and select "Copy to output directory" as "Copy always"

    If that does not solve your problem, check a working sample: <a class="postlink" href="https://github.com/aspnetboilerplate/aspnetboilerplate-samples/tree/master/AbpEfConsoleApp">https://github.com/aspnetboilerplate/as ... ConsoleApp</a>

    This console app write logs.

    But.... how do you use LogHelper, because it's an internal class of ABP.

    Ohhh, I missed that, now its working, thanks. Its weird because on the web site I don't have the "Copy always" option selected and works, anyway.

    I changed the internal to public, now that you said I think Its wrong right ? :?

    So, how should I use? property injection ?

    Thanks

    Yes, property injection! Never use statics unless it is not avoidable.
