Readme.md docs don't work and throw InvalidCastException

[CreepyGnome]

Created a clean .NET Core console app. Followed the readme.md doc and Configuration extension method used has such ReadFrom.Configuration(configuration) throws System.InvalidCastException.

System.InvalidCastException HResult=0x80004002 Message=Invalid cast from 'System.String' to 'Serilog.Core.IDestructuringPolicy'. Source=System.Private.CoreLib StackTrace: at System.Convert.DefaultToType(IConvertible value, Type targetType, IFormatProvider provider) at Serilog.Settings.Configuration.StringArgumentValue.ConvertTo(Type toType, ResolutionContext resolutionContext) at Serilog.Settings.Configuration.ConfigurationReader.<>c__DisplayClass18_2.<CallConfigurationMethods>b__3(<>f__AnonymousType92 <>h__TransparentIdentifier0)

If I remove the Destructure property from the appsettings.json it works.

See the attached project for example.

FunWithSerilogNetCore.zip

So if you could fix the readme.md so that the code will work maybe just remove the json property that it is failing on or better yet add what is missing so that it works with that json file.

Thanks for the note, we'll check it out

This was fixed? How? I still get the same error, and the message is still the same....

[nblumhardt]

@UltimateForm are you running the latest -dev* version of the package?

[UltimateForm]

@nblumhardt no, just the nuget release, thought this fix had been released already, my bad 🙏

[nblumhardt]

The -dev* packages are on NuGet, too: https://www.nuget.org/packages/Serilog.Settings.Configuration/3.2.0-dev-00272
