[question] How to properly log? #1249

Closed theodelrieu closed 3 days ago

theodelrieu commented 3 days ago

Hello,

I had to remove every instance of ITestOutputHelper when migrating from xUnit to TUnit, but I couldn't find anything in the doc about logging.

Looking at the code, there are some logging-related classes in TUnit.Engine.Logging. Are they supposed to be used by client code? Is Console.WriteLine the way to go?

Yep console writelines are automatically intercepted by the framework

Thanks. It's still not clear to me what the difference between xUnit and TUnit is on that aspect. Are there missing/added features?

EDIT: We currently have a lot of Asp services that take an ILogger, so I'd like to get an ILogger in my tests like I'm able to do with xUnit, c.f. this article.

If you wanted an ILogger you'd have to create your own implementation, because TUnit doesn't have any dependencies on Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.

You can get a TUnitLogger by doing TestContext.Current!.GetDefaultLogger() - so your custom ILogger could forward calls on to the TUnit logger
