AddSingleton won't accept AddSerilog - console-application

Question

I'm facing an issue where I'm trying to write a more smart console app with logging and configuration available.
This is what I have so far:
namespace Client
{
public class Program
{
public static IConfigurationRoot Configuration;
private static int Main(string[] args)
{
Log.Logger = new LoggerConfiguration()
.WriteTo.Console(Serilog.Events.LogEventLevel.Debug)
.MinimumLevel.Debug()
.Enrich.FromLogContext()
.CreateLogger();
try
{
MainAsync(args).ConfigureAwait(false);
return 0;
}
catch
{
return 1;
}
}
private static async Task MainAsync(string[] args)
{
// Create service collection
Log.Information("Creating service collection");
var serviceCollection = new ServiceCollection();
ConfigureServices(serviceCollection);
// Create service provider
Log.Information("Building service provider");
IServiceProvider serviceProvider = serviceCollection.BuildServiceProvider();
try
{
Log.Information("Starting service");
await serviceProvider.GetService<App>().Run();
Log.Information("Ending service");
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Log.Fatal(ex, "Error running service");
throw;
}
finally
{
Log.CloseAndFlush();
}
}
private static void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
// Add logging
services.AddSingleton(
LoggerFactory.Create(
builder => { builder.AddSerilog(dispose: true); }));
services.AddLogging();
// Build configuration
Configuration = new ConfigurationBuilder()
.SetBasePath(Directory.GetParent(AppContext.BaseDirectory).FullName)
.AddJsonFile("appSettings.json", false)
.Build();
// Add access to generic IConfigurationRoot
services.AddSingleton(Configuration);
// Add app
services.AddTransient<App>();
}
}
}
I'm facing an issue in ConfigureServices method on line builder.AddSerilog for the life of me, I cannot figure out why it is not able to resolve AddSerilog

Answer 1

I was missing a package: Serilog.Extensions.Logging
For some reason, VS or even Resharper was not able to suggest this.
