.ReadFrom.AppSettings(prefix) silently ignores missing settings
When using the AppSettings(prefix)
overload, Serilog neither fails nor complains in the SelfLog
about not finding any appSettings with that prefix.
How to reproduce
Create a project with no serilog related settings in web.config/app.config.
Setup SelfLog:
Serilog.Debugging.SelfLog.Enable(Console.Error); // Or some other destination of choice
Create a logger with any prefix:
var logger = new LoggerConfiguration()
.ReadFrom.AppSettings("MyLoggerA")
.CreateLogger();
logger.Information("Some log message");
Notice there's nothing written to Console.Error
.
I can't figure out if that's by design or not, but it seems unintuitive, that this should silently go through without at least a warning in SelfLog
.
If I instead add settings like:
<add key="MyLoggerA:serilog:using:File" value="Serilog.Sinks.File" />
<add key="MyLoggerA:serilog:write-to:File.path" value="Q:\Logs\Foged\Server\ApplicationLog.txt" />
It complains in SelfLog
as I don't have a Q:
drive.
