Dominik Psenner closed LOG4NET-475.
-----------------------------------
    Resolution: Fixed
      Assignee: Dominik Psenner

You should write the test such that it initializes the appender and tests its functionality without requiring the entire framework to be loaded. Please send future questions to one of the mailing lists mentioned at https://logging.apache.org/log4net/mail-lists.html

> I am trying to write a custom appender that rolls over daily, as well as on a size limit, and cleans up after itself in the process. I wrote the implementation using the AppenderSkeleton as a base class, then attempted to write a unit test to test the appender functionality. I do the following:
>             DailyRollingFileAppender appender = new DailyRollingFileAppender();
>             appender.RollOverOnSize = true;
>             appender.RollOverDaily = true; //dont think I can test this
>             appender.MaxFileSizeBytes = 1024;
>             appender.RolloverDayCount = 1;
>             appender.RollOverOnSize = true;
>             appender.LoggingDirectory = Path.Combine(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory(), "TestLogFolder");
>             appender.LogFileName = "TestLogFileName";
>             appender.DateTimeFormatString = "YYYY-MM-DD-hh-mm-ss";
>             appender.Cleanup = true;
>             appender.Layout = new PatternLayout();
>             appender.MaxNumberOfFiles = 10;
>             appender.Name = "testAppender";
>             //lets write some crappy log messages
>             byte[] bytes = new byte[1050];
>             Random rnd = new Random();
>             rnd.NextBytes(bytes);
>             ILog log = LogManager.GetLogger("LoggerName");
>             Logger logger = (Logger)log.Logger;
>             logger.AddAppender(appender);
>             logger.Log(Level.Info, Encoding.UTF8.GetString(bytes), new Exception());
>             logger.Log(Level.Info, Encoding.UTF8.GetString(bytes), null);
> The code is based on the only examples I can find of people adding appenders to loggers at runtime, which you would want to do for a unit test. The issue is that the Logger instance I get from the call to ILog.Logger in the code above as a collection of appenders of type ReadOnlyAppenderCollection. The code silently consumes the exception it throws internally and never actually adds the appender to the collection. Can/How do I add an appender to a logger at runtime in the manner described above, so I can appropriately test that it functions.
