Serilog 2.4.0 doesn't work

[igorskys]

Hello,

I updated my projects with latest serilog. Cleaned packages and after that I started getting Serilog 1.5.0.0 dependency not found exception. Is there workaround for latest version of Serilog?

Thanks!

Thanks for the report. It sounds like the NuGet package install process may not have created the required assembly binding redirects; do the instructions at: https://weblog.west-wind.com/posts/2014/Nov/29/Updating-Assembly-Redirects-with-NuGet help?

Thanks for the reply. It helped. I was asked to downgrade Serilog to 2.3.0 and for somereason SerilogWeb.Classic returned be to the same issue. The hint doesn't help.

Thanks for the follow-up, good to hear it's working.

Actually it is not working in my specific case. We have sharepoint application. This application doesn't use app.config, it uses custom config path. I added assembly redirect to my custom config, but it didn't help.

Here is failure log.

Thank you!

Thanks for the update.

Serilog 2 has been out for a long time; I'd be happy if we updated this package to depend directly on Serilog 2.5, and bumped its major version.

Is anyone interested in PRing this? Cheers!

It would be nice to have 👍

Closed via #42.

I'm not sure, but I believe there are still traces of older versions of Serilog :-/

I see

<dependencies>
      <dependency id="Serilog" version="1.5.7" />
</dependencies>

in file https://github.com/serilog-web/classic/blob/master/src/SerilogWeb.Classic/SerilogWeb.Classic.nuspec

And the last published NuGet package declares Serilog v1.5.7+ as a dependency : https://www.nuget.org/packages/SerilogWeb.Classic/3.0.19

I believe there should be no <dependencies> node in the .nuspec file, as nuget pack projectPath will already generate it for you, looking at the project's packages.config file.
