Ron Grabowski commented on LOG4NET-342:
---------------------------------------
If I'm working in a web app and I can't get basic logging to work I'll do this:
<appSettings>
<add key="log4net.Internal.Debug" value="true"/>
</appSettings>
<system.diagnostics>
<trace autoflush="true">
<listeners>
<add name="textWriterTraceListener"
type="System.Diagnostics.TextWriterTraceListener"
initializeData="c:\\path\\to\\application\\App_Data\\og4net.txt" />
</listeners>
</trace>
</system.diagnostics>
Starting with 1.2.11, configurators return an ICollection of LogLog messages:
var errors = XmlConfigurator.Configure().Cast<LogLog>().Where(x =>
x.Prefix.Contains("ERROR"));
In hindsight the configurators should maintained their current signatures and
new methods added to return a strongly typed collection of real objects of a
non-generic collection of our internal LogLog object. When I wrote the code I
was more concerned with maintaining 1.x compatibility than making it easy for
non-legacy apps to use new feature :-/

> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 1.2.12

>
> I spent most of the day trying to find out why logging is not working on my
> dev system but not on test. There should be a way to force error reporting by
> throwing (possibly unhandled) exceptions. This could be done by adding a
> required flag to the appenders and another flag that requires a least one
> working appender.
> I am not sure about a good way to implement this, I would just love it if my
> favourite tool to end silent failure could stop failing silently.
