FileAppender - expand environment variables

[Daniel Chait]

I made a change to log4net code which I thought I'd share:

 

In "FileAppender.ConvertToFullPath(string path)" I added "path = Environment.ExpandEnvironmentVariables(path);"  which enables the use of environment variables in the File attribute when configuring file appenders. 

 

Here is the new method body:

 

  protected static string ConvertToFullPath(string path)
  {
   if (path == null)
   {
    throw new ArgumentNullException("path");
   }

      // Added: expand environment variables in path names
      path = Environment.ExpandEnvironmentVariables(path);

   if (SystemInfo.ApplicationBaseDirectory != null)
   {
    // Note that Path.Combine will return the second path if it is rooted
    return Path.GetFullPath(Path.Combine(SystemInfo.ApplicationBaseDirectory, path));
   }
   return Path.GetFullPath(path);
  }

Hope this helps.
