Serilog.Settings.Configuration is not working when it is referenced as package #286
Description
I am getting really strange behaviour trying to configure Serilog using appsettings.json.
It only works when I add Serilog.Settings.Configuration to my project using Add Project Reference. When Serilog.Settings.Configuration (3.2.0) is installed as package I am getting Exception:
System.InvalidOperationException: 'Cannot create instance of type 'Serilog.Formatting.ITextFormatter' because it is either abstract or an interface.'
Here is code example that I am using to parse configuration:
var configuration = new ConfigurationBuilder()
.SetBasePath(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory())
.AddJsonFile("appsettings.json")
.AddJsonFile($"appsettings.{Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT") ?? "Production"}.json", true)
.Build();
var logger = new LoggerConfiguration()
.ReadFrom.Configuration(configuration)
.CreateLogger();
Here is config that I am using:
"Serilog": {
"MinimumLevel": {
"Override": {
"Microsoft": "Debug",
"System": "Debug"
}
},
"Enrich": [ "FromLogContext" ],
"WriteTo": [
{
"Name": "Console",
"Args": {
"formatter": {
"type": "Serilog.Templates.ExpressionTemplate, Serilog.Expressions",
"template": "[{@t:yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.fff} {@l:u3}] {#if CorrelationId is not null}{CorrelationId} | {#end}{@m:lj}\n{@x}"
}
}
}
]
}
Here is an example of not working project file (Serilog.Settings.Configuration is PackageReference):
<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Web">
<PropertyGroup>
<TargetFramework>net5.0</TargetFramework>
<UserSecretsId>0718b2b6-70cb-4a9b-9c43-30625d246f61</UserSecretsId>

<ItemGroup>
<ProjectReference Include="..\..\..\serilog-settings-configuration-dev\src\Serilog.Settings.Configuration\Serilog.Settings.Configuration.csproj" />

</Project>
What am I missing? It looks like Serilog.Settings.Configuration is ignored when it is referenced as package, right? How can I fix that?
