I am studying .Net Core 2 and I have a question. I am trying to get error in my Repository layer and only saw example in Controller. Any specific reason for this?

Here are my codes:

appsettings.json

{
   "ConnectionStrings": {
   "DefaultConnection": "Server=FAYOL\SQLEXPRESS;Database=Pagamento;Trusted_Connection=True;MultipleActiveResultSets=true"
      },
      "Logging": {
        "IncludeScopes": false,
        "Debug": {
          "LogLevel": {
            "Default": "Warning"
          }
        },
        "Console": {
          "LogLevel": {
            "Default": "Warning"
          }
        }
      }
    }

Program.cs

public static void Main(string[] args)
{
    BuildWebHost(args).Run();
}


public static IWebHost BuildWebHost(string[] args) =>
  WebHost.CreateDefaultBuilder(args)
     .UseStartup<Startup>()
     .ConfigureLogging((hostingContext, logging) =>
     {
                        logging.AddConfiguration(hostingContext.Configuration.GetSection("Logging"));
                        logging.AddConsole();
                        logging.AddDebug();
     })
     .Build();

ShopRepository.cs

private readonly Contexto _context;
private readonly ILogger _logger;

public LojaRepository(Contexto context, ILogger<LojaRepository> logger)
{
   _context = context;
   _logger = logger;
}

public void Salvar(Loja loja)
{
    _logger.LogInformation("Teste de log para salvar");
}

Where do I tell the file name and where to save it?

Thank you

You can use Serilog. With it you have several options of where to register your log.

Install the following NuGet packages: Serilog.AspNetCore, Serilog.Sinks.Console and Serilog.Sinks.File

Configure Serilog in the Program.cs file:

public class Program
{
    public static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        // Configure Serilog for logging
        Log.Logger = new LoggerConfiguration()
       .MinimumLevel.Debug()
       .MinimumLevel.Override("Microsoft", LogEventLevel.Information)
       .Enrich.FromLogContext()
       .WriteTo.Console()
       .WriteTo.File("logs/log.txt", rollingInterval: RollingInterval.Day)
       .CreateLogger();

        try
        {
            Log.Information("Starting Amplifier web host");
            BuildWebHost(args).Run();
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            Log.Fatal(ex, "Host terminated unexpectedly");
        }
        finally
        {
            Log.CloseAndFlush();
        }            
    }

    public static IWebHost BuildWebHost(string[] args) =>
        WebHost.CreateDefaultBuilder(args)
            .UseStartup<Startup>()
            .UseSerilog() // Replace the default logging provider
            .Build();
}

Note that in the configuration we put the log to be saved in a file called log.txt in the logs folder and to start the log in the console.

Once configured, just use:

public class TestController : Controller
{
    private readonly ILogger _logger;

    public TestController(ILogger logger)
    {
        _logger = logger;
    }

    public IActionResult Register()
    {
        //Some controller logic...

        _logger.LogInformation("User named {0} created with id: {1}", user.Name, user.Id);
    }
}
