When I initialize GROWL log4jnet does not create log file

[Larry Presswood]

I am attempting to integrate Growl into a windows service.

Without Growl my log4 works fine but as soon as I initialize growl no
more log file??

Any ideas

[Brian Dunnington]

When you debug the service, what is the behavior? Does log4net still
get called? Do the methods still get hit? Does the log file just not
get created? Are any exceptions thrown?

When you say 'initialize Growl', what do you mean? Include a reference
to the assembly? Create a GrowlConnector object? Call the .Register()
method? Or do you mean you launch the actual Growl app and that is
interfering with your service?

Neither Growl itself or the .NET connector use log4net or anything
similar. I suppose that if the connector threw an exception,
subsequent code may not execute, but you would have to debug your app
to see where/if that is the case.

No problem with the assemblies included in the code

Still working on debugging the service but figured i would check to see if there is a known issue..
Sounds like that is not thecase

thanks

Make sure you are linking against the right libraries. I had a problem
that resulted in exceptions being thrown in strange places, that turned
out to be trying to use growl.dll in a .Net 4.0 application. If you want
to use the dll, you need to build against .Net 2.0

I think if you build all the Growl libraries you need against 4.0 and put
them in with your server that would work. All the communication should be
via GNTP on a socket.

BTW

I was able to build core and connector with .net4.0 and it works like a charm

still having log4net issues but not related

thanks

[Brian Dunnington]

Glad to hear you got it all sorted out (at least on the Growl side of things).

[Larry Presswood]

What is the expected behavior if grown is not installed?

Will I get an exception when I attempt to register / notify or is it silent?

[Brian Dunnington]

You wont get an exception, but you will get an error response. So in
the GrowlConnector, if you wire up a handler to the ErrorResponse
event, you can handle the error. The error code will be 200 (timed
out) or 201 (network error) if Growl cannot connect. (If the forward
is successful, you wont get an ErrorResponse event, but instead will
get the OKResponse event).

[Larry Presswood]

thanks

You can bundle the installer or pretty much do whatever else you want,
as long as you give credit (modified BSD license).
