Failed to find config section - Only after Environment.Exit()
I have a .net application using log4net that works fine up until the application exits using Environment.Exit(). At that point I get the following error message:
"log4net:ERROR XmlConfigurator: Failed to find configuration section 'log4net' in the application's .config file. Check your .config file for the <log4net> and <configSections> elements. The configuration section should look like: <section name="log4net"
type="log4net.Config.Log4NetConfigurationSectionHandler,log4net" />"
The log file is created and entries are written fine when the app runs. I've tried doing a logmanager.shudown() prior to the Environment.Exit() but that doesn't seem to help either. The issue is more of an annoyance than anything else as the logging works as expected. The app is running at a client site though and they want to know why they're seeing this error in their scheduler.
Here's the log4net entries in my app.config.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<sectionGroup name="applicationSettings" type="System.Configuration.ApplicationSettingsGroup, System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089">
<section name="log4net" type="log4net.Config.Log4NetConfigurationSectionHandler" />
</sectionGroup>
</configSections>
<!-- This section contains the log4net configuration settings -->
<log4net>

RE: Failed to find config section - Only after Environment.Exit()
Posted by "Dahl, Scott (CMA Consulting)" <sd...@cma.com>.
I'm using vb.net in .net 2.0. This is a web service client.
I have the following in my code:
' We want this assembly to have a seperate logging repository to the
' rest of the application. We will configure this repository seperatly.
<Assembly: log4net.Config.Repository("trafficRouter")>
' Configure logging for this assembly using the 'SimpleModule.dll.log4net' file
<Assembly: log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator(Watch:=False)>
Then within the class I declare this:
' Create a logger for use in this class
Public Shared ReadOnly l As log4net.ILog = log4net.LogManager.GetLogger("default")
And when the client starts I do this:
log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator.Configure()

hmm, I am not sure how this is working for you, for me it errors on XmlConfigurator.Configure()
What .net and log4net version are you using, what type of app is this?
>From browsing the code, it looks like the log4net code isn't set up to handle the log4net section in a sectionGroup like you have it.
It expects the log4net section to not be in a group. see the examples here: http://logging.apache.org/log4net/release/manual/configuration.html
The relevant log4net code is in XmlConfigurator.cs:
configElement = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.GetSection("log4net") as XmlElement;
For your app.config to work, that line would have to be written like:
configElement = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.GetSection("applicationSettings/log4net") as XmlElement;

The log file is created and entries are written fine when the app runs. I've tried doing a logmanager.shudown() prior to the Environment.Exit() but that doesn't seem to help either. The issue is more of an annoyance than anything else as the logging works as expected. The app is running at a client site though and they want to know why they're seeing this error in their scheduler.
Here's the log4net entries in my app.config.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<configSections>
<sectionGroup name="applicationSettings" type="System.Configuration.ApplicationSettingsGroup, System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089">
<section name="log4net" type="log4net.Config.Log4NetConfigurationSectionHandler" />
</sectionGroup>
</configSections>
<!-- This section contains the log4net configuration settings -->
<log4net>
<!-- Define some output appenders -->
<appender name="LogFileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.FileAppender">
<file value=".\\GenericInterfaceClient.log" />
<appendToFile value="true" />
<layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
<conversionPattern value="%date [%thread] %-5level %logger - %message%newline" />
</layout>
</appender>
<logger name="default">
<level value="ALL" />
<appender-ref ref="LogFileAppender" />
</logger>
</log4net>
</applicationSettings>
</configuration>
Any ideas?
Re: Failed to find config section - Only after Environment.Exit()
Posted by Brian Browning <bw...@gmail.com>.
When I tried your app.config I received an exception immediately upon
calling XmlConfigurator.Configure();
I had to move some things around in it for it to work:
There doesn't seem to be an exception when I call Environment.Exit(1);
either.
Does modifying your app.config like below solve your problem?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<configSections>
<section name="log4net"
type="log4net.Config.Log4NetConfigurationSectionHandler, log4net" />
<sectionGroup name="applicationSettings"
type="System.Configuration.ApplicationSettingsGroup, System,
Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089">
</sectionGroup>
</configSections>
<applicationSettings>
<!-- .... -->
</applicationSettings>
<log4net>
<!-- Define some output appenders -->
<appender name="LogFileAppender"
type="log4net.Appender.FileAppender">
<file value="GenericInterfaceClient.log" />
<appendToFile value="true" />
<layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
<conversionPattern value="%date [%thread] %-5level
%logger - %message%newline" />
</layout>
</appender>
<logger name="default">
<level value="ALL" />
<appender-ref ref="LogFileAppender" />
</logger>
</log4net>
</configuration>
