logger output file path problem

logger output file path problem

• Justin_K

  Sayed,

  It's not a problem with logger dll, otherwise the build will spit an error like: error MSB1021: Cannot create an instance of the logger.

  I just couldn't make the logger output to be directed to a give path. I have tried something like logfile=c:\logfolder\mylog.xml, but still doesn't work.

  Regards,

  Not sure if this is your problem, but it sounds like MSBuild is not able to locate the assembly that contains the logger (and its dependencies) . In your /l: argument pass the full path to it and see if that works. Or you can place the needed assemblies in the executing directory.

  Hi,
  
  Sorry for the mis-information.
  The part of this that is interesting is that you say that it works if you invoke the build from the framework dir. The only thing that I can thik of is this:
  You are expecting a property that your logger has called logfile to be initilized from the command line parameter. But the Logger class doesn't do this for you. It does initalize the Parameters property in that class but it is your responsibility to parse that out. See the example on msdn, for how to do this.
  The reason why I think this could be it is because it seems like the logfile property in your class is empty, and the log file always gets written to the framework dir, but you only noticed when you executed from there. If this is not the issue can you post some code from your logger class Let me know if this is it.

  You were right. The "logfile" is a property that is passed in for the customized logger to parse. Thanks.
