[Solved] Using log4net.Remoting Appender in a Unity project.

Hi there,

I'm encountering some issues trying to use log4net in a Unity project, and would appreciate any help.

Context
I want to use an external console for logging purpose. Using log4net, I could be able to log at several locations at the same time.

Using log4net Remoting Appender on the Unity-side, and a RemoteSink on the external console side, it should work.

The issue
A functional consol has been implemented. It can receive logs from a basic program in c#, but can't from my Unity project.

While my Unity project can use log4net when it comes to log in Unity console or a file, but can't log to my custom console.

Which means log4net works here, it's very precisely the "Remoting Appender" functionality that I'm having troubles with.

If you've ever worked with log4net for Unity, or have solved this issue with another solution, I would greatly appreciate any help ! Gratitudes,

"ItsANetworkingTrap" is a basic Unity project, clic the cube to log.
"OnyxConsole" is a very light custom console using WinForm (Visual Studio project included)
"Log4NetBeginner" is a simple program logging on the custom console (press any key to see it logging)

 

Monday morning, back to work, still stucked on the same issue, trying to bump it... Gratitudes !

 

Unity mono does not have pipe / process IO redirect, if that's what you are trying to do

 

@r618 : Thanks, that's the issue, as log4net.RemotingAppender requires C# RPC. Had to use another Appender (UdpAppender) which works fine so far.

Have a nice day !

 

There might be something else going on since [RPC] calls should work - albeit the unity way, which is presumably *slightly* different from stock .net/mono RPC
Cheers !
