Utils for the logging framework Serilog

Serilog.Sinks.EventBag

Write log events to an in-memory event bag. Perfect for unit testing where you need to verify the loggin output and context properties

Example

Setup the loggin instance

var eventBag = new ConcurrentBag<LogEvent>();
var logger = new LoggerConfiguration()
		.WriteTo.EventBag(eventBag)
		.CreateLogger();

Add context variable

var logger = loggerInstance.ForContext("contextKey", "contextValue");

Add some logging

logger.Information("Start");
logger.Information("End");

Then verify the events in the eventBag

Assert.IsTrue(eventBag.Any());
Assert.AreEqual(eventBag.Count, 2);
foreach (var logEvent in eventBag)
{
	Assert.IsTrue(logEvent.Properties.Any(p => p.Key == "contextKey"));
	Assert.IsTrue(logEvent.Properties.First(p => p.Key == "contextKey").Value.ToString().Contains("contextValue"));
}
