Unless I'm totally missing it, I'm under the impression that the NLog documentation uses ${basedir}
in its examples, without explaining what its location is supposed to be.
Where can I find information that lists all possible options with a meaningful description?
I have this configuration defined:
<nlog xmlns="http://www.nlog-project.org/schemas/NLog.xsd" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" throwExceptions="true">
<targets>
<target name="file" xsi:type="File"
layout="${longdate} ${logger} ${message}"
fileName="${basedir}/logs/${shortdate}.txt"
keepFileOpen="false"
encoding="iso-8859-2" />
</targets>
<rules>
<logger name="*" minlevel="Debug" writeTo="file" />
</rules>
</nlog>
It works as far as I can tell, but I haven't got a clue where it logs anything at.
${basedir}
— Directory where the application runs, aka. AppDomain.BaseDirectory
I think, you will find this manual page helpful.
