Comment 2 for bug 605034

Hi Charlie,

I do not believe that it is a bug at all. I have provided two solutions in my blog post
http://do-the-right-things.blogspot.com/2010/11/log4net-configuration-issue-when-using.html

In short, it is because NUnit contains code in NUnit.Core.Log4NetCapture.StartCapture() that causes log4net to construct a default repository without finding the user's specified config file. Full technical disclosure is found on my blog post.

The way to over come this is to put a key="log4net.Config" in the <appSettings> in the NUnit project's config file and in the value specify the log4net config file. With this simple specifiication, NUnit 2.5.7 will work just fine.

Rover.
