Unhandled Exception during log write

[ordinaryorange]

Using Blazor Webassembly project. I have Logging configured and working for simple logging scenarios, but have discovered that the logging service will throw an exception when passed more complex objects.

For example this call Logger.LogDebug(typeof(DateTime).Assembly)

throws this in the console

Looks to be an issue with the JSON serialization.

Hmm. Does Console.WriteLine(typeof(DateTime).Assembly) work?

[ordinaryorange]

Yep works as expected. Console.WriteLine just effectively calls the .ToString() on the object. So it is not doing any deep property inspection like the Logger.

This is not a logger concern IMHO as this limitation comes from the WebAssembly support to serialize Assembly type, which fails using the default JSON serializer. If you need to serialize by default unsupported objects, then use the override for the log method that's accepting a Func<TState, Exception, string> formatter, so you can create message that is being sent to the browser or the FormattedLogObject instance as needed. In the next release the FormattedLogObject type will be public for this reason.
