Log4Net File Appender Not Logging

问题

my FileAppender isn't working. It probably isn't a permissions thing as I'm local admin.

I've enabled internal debugging and I'm not getting any errors or exceptions from log4net.

My config file is below. Thanks

<log4net>
        <appender name="ConsoleAppender" type="log4net.Appender.ConsoleAppender" >
            <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
                <conversionPattern value="%date [%thread] %-5level %logger [%ndc] - %message%newline" />
            </layout>
        </appender>
        <appender name="FileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.FileAppender">
            <file value="C:\log-file.txt" />
            <appendToFile value="true" />
            <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
                <conversionPattern value="%date [%thread] %-5level %logger [%ndc] - %message%newline" />
            </layout>
        </appender>
        <root>
            <level value="DEBUG" />
            <appender-ref ref="ConsoleAppender" />
            <appender-ref ref="FileAppender" />
        </root>
    </log4net>

The code to log is effectively:-

public class Logger
{
    private static readonly ILog defaultLog;
    static Logger()
    {
        BasicConfigurator.Configure();
        defaultLog = LogManager.GetLogger("default");
    }

    public static void Log(string errorMessage, Exception exception)
    {
        defaultLog.Error(errorMessage, exception);
    }
}

回答1:

Based on your description I assumed, that you used the BasicConfigurator (supports only ConsoleAppender) instead of the XmlConfigurator. Switching to the XmlConfigurator should fix your problem.

回答2:

There are 2 main options to enable logging. Refer to the Configuration manual for more details.

Use XmlConfigurator.Configure()
Add [assembly: log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator(Watch=true)] to AssemblyInfo.cs

BasicConfigurator.Configure() can only write to the console.

回答3:

have you tryede RollingFileAppender ?

<appender name="RollingFileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender" >
  <file value="C:\log-file.txt" />
  <maximumFileSize value="10MB" />
  <maxSizeRollBackups value="10" />
  <rollingStyle value="Composite" />
  <appendToFile value="true" />
  <staticLogFileName value="true" />
  <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
    <conversionPattern value="%date [%thread] %-5level %logger [%ndc] - %message%newline" />
  </layout>
</appender>

I created this helper class

1) you can initiate as many appender you need across the applications so if one dll call other dll both can initiate appenders and both appends will work. 2) also you can close the appender and ( as in case of file appender) then send it as a email

Log4NetFileHelper log = new Log4NetFileHelper();
        log.Init(); //Initialize
        log.AddConsoleLogging(); //Add Console Logging
        log.AddFileLogging(Path.Combine(AssemblyDirectory, "BatchConsole.log")); //Add Console Logging
        log.AddFileLogging(Path.Combine(AssemblyDirectory, "BatchConsole_error.log"),log4net.Core.Level.Error); //Add Console Logging



public class Log4NetFileHelper
{
    private string  DEFAULT_LOG_FILENAME=string.Format("application_log_{0}.log",DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyyMMMdd_hhmm"));
