Struggling with logging

DreadTalon

Hey, I have been through the thread reporting a similar problem, but the solution there hasn't worked for me.

I am extending LoadBalancing, and able to log and control the logging level for every module except my own game server.

using ExitGames.Logging;
using Lite;
using Photon.LoadBalancing.GameServer;
using Photon.SocketServer;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using Server.Serialization;

namespace Server {
	public class GameServer : GameApplication {

		private static ILogger logger = LogManager.GetCurrentClassLogger();

		public GameServer() : base() {

			logger.Info("Game Server Started.");

			Console.WriteLine("adjsfkasdjfkasdfjasdf");

			//Send plaintext
			logger.Info("your log message");

			//Send an exception
			logger.Error("your log message", new Exception());

			//Send a JSON object
			var items = new Dictionary<string, string>();
			items.Add("key1", "value1");
			items.Add("key2", "value2");
			logger.Info(items);
		}

		protected override PeerBase CreateGamePeer(InitRequest initRequest) {
			return new GamePeer(initRequest, this);
		}

		#region GameCache Overrides
		#endregion
	}
}

My log file is definitely being copied to the deploy directory and it is being read because I can change the log level for other modules. I am stumped here.

I have found that the logging does infact work - for every class except for ones which extend from MasterApplication or GameApplication. Is there a reason for this?

No, that sounds weird and is certainly not intended. I'll take a look. Thanks for reporting the issue!
