GherkinSpec.Logging

Overview

A bridge package that allows the subject-under-test in GivePenny GherkinSpec test projects to log to Microsoft's Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.Abstractions.ILogger and for those messages to be routed through to the test output/results.

See the GivePenny GherkinSpec project for background information.

Using this package

Reference the GivePenny.GherkinSpec.Logging package in your test project, then modify your project's [BeforeRun] hook to make sure that the following lines are all included:

// Namespaces at the top ...
using GivePenny.GherkinSpec.Logging;
using Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Logging;

// ... then inside the [BeforeHook] method ...
var services = new ServiceCollection();
testRunContext.ServiceProvider = services
    .AddSingleton(testRunContext.Logger)
    .AddLogging(
	    builder => builder.AddTestLogging(testRunContext.Logger))
    .BuildServiceProvider();

// ... then your steps class constructor ...
public MyStepsClass(ILogger<MyTestSubject> logger)
{
    // Use the logger instance, maybe assign to a private field and use inside steps when the MyTestSubject class is instantiated.
}
