NLog Extension not working for 4.5.1 or 4.6.1 frameworks

[koocbor]

Is there a plan to get the NLog extension working if you are targeting the 4.5.1 or 4.6.1 frameworks?

Taking the example application the logging works - but if I change the project.json file to the following no logging is done:

{
  "dependencies": {
    "Microsoft.AspNetCore.Diagnostics":  "1.0.0-rc2-final",
    "Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc": "1.0.0-rc2-final",

      "version": "1.0.0-preview1-final",
      "type": "build"
    },

  },

    }
  },

    "postpublish": [ "dotnet publish-iis --publish-folder %publish:OutputPath% --framework %publish:FullTargetFramework%" ]
  }
}

It's a bit difficult as we don't know if you're using aspnet core or aspnet 4.5 if you are using net451. We I guess the problem is in finding NLog.Config. Could you tests with

public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IHostingEnvironment env, ILoggerFactory loggerFactory)
  {
      //add NLog to aspnet5
      loggerFactory.AddNLog();

      //configure nlog.config in your project root
      env.ConfigureNLog("nlog.config");

@304NotModified - Thanks - that worked. Appreciate the quick response.

Thanks for the feedback!

I think this library should inject some behavior into NLog, so we know it's .NET Core

I am Getting Following error and application getting stopped automatically

Using Asp.Net core

SYSTEM.TYPEINTIALLIZATIONException in Micorsoft.AspNetCore.Server.Kestrel.dll

That's an unexpected error. Would try to look at this, this week

Cannot reproduce your error. I added an example for NET 4.6.1: #56

This issue is solved, I have created a new issue for the env.ConfigureNLog("nlog.config"); and will close this one.
