Xunit LoggerProvider for Microsoft.Extensions.Logging to write log events to the Xunit test output.

Xunit.Extensions.Logging

Introduction

Xunit LoggerProvider for Microsoft.Extensions.Logging to write log events to the Xunit test output.

Getting Started

To use the provider, first install the NuGet package:

Install-Package Xunit.Extensions.Logging

Or

dotnet add package Xunit.Extensions.Logging

Then enable the Xunit output using AddXunit(ITestOutputHelper):

using Microsoft.Extensions.Logging;
using Xunit;
using Xunit.Abstractions;

public class SampleTest
{
    private readonly ILogger logger;

    public SampleTest(ITestOutputHelper outputHelper)
    {
        logger = LoggerFactory
                    .Create(builder =>
                    {
                        builder
                            .AddXunit(outputHelper);
                            // Add other loggers, e.g.: AddConsole, AddDebug, etc.
                    })
                    .CreateLogger<SampleTest>();
    }

    [Fact]
    public void DoSomeTest()
    {
        // Arrange
        // Act
        // Assert
        logger.LogInformation("Hello world!");
    }
}

Log events will be printed to the Xunit test output:

Build and Test

Clone this repo:

git clone https://github.com/yorchideas/Xunit.Extensions.Logging.git

Change directory to repo root:

cd Xunit.Extensions.Logging

Build the solution:

dotnet restore
dotnet build

This will result in the following:

• Restore all NuGet packages required for building
• Build all projects. Final binaries are placed into <repo_root>\build\bin\<Configuration>

To run unit tests, execute:

dotnet test ./test/Xunit.Extensions.Logging.UnitTests/Xunit.Extensions.Logging.UnitTests.csproj
