What would be an example of a default logger in NUnit to log the information?

Some documentation says Log4net is not supported now.

    Which documents saying that log4net is not supported, could you give an url? – sll Aug 10 '11 at 09:20
  • Not about Log4net and logging, but related (general debugging in NUnit unit tests): *[How do I get nunit3-console to output my debug to screen?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46405753/how-do-i-get-nunit3-console-to-output-my-debug-to-screen-on-a-windows-box)* - *"in NUnit 3, you should use TestContext.WriteLine(...) in your tests"*. It [works on Linux](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46405753/how-do-i-get-nunit3-console-to-output-my-debug-to-screen-on-a-windows-box#comment110657051_46407376) as well. – Peter Mortensen Jul 10 '23 at 18:58

You can use the normal .NET Trace or Debug classes to log messages that NUnit will later display.

  • Yep but this kind of logs only can be observed whils test run but what if requirement is to save logs from each tests run – sll Aug 10 '11 at 09:21
  • You could do this with custom `TraceListener`s. – Jordão Aug 10 '11 at 11:56

    No, it's a .NET [feature](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.diagnostics.tracelistener.aspx). There's even a [`TextWriterTraceListener`](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.diagnostics.textwritertracelistener.aspx) that you can use to write to a file. – Jordão Aug 10 '11 at 12:11
  • but this would be a custom implementation and you can;'t write all NUNit diagnostic messages in this way – sll Aug 10 '11 at 12:57
  • Ah, so it's NUnit messages that you want to write, not your own messages? – Jordão Aug 10 '11 at 14:13

    I believe Kumar is asking about NUnit logger – sll Aug 10 '11 at 14:48

You can add Common.Logging reference (with Log4net) and add ConsoleAppender in your configuration file. After configuring the appender, you will see logging information when running your unit tests.
