log4net - LogicalThreadContext - and unit test cases

Question

I am starting to write a unit test (MS Test, with Resharper as the test runner). When I set the LogicalThreadContext (see below), my test cases get 'aborted'. Anybody know why? Is this related to the unit test being on a different thread? How do I resolve this? ``` [TestClass] public class ContextInfoTest { private ILog _log; [TestInitialize] public void TestInitialize() { // logging configured in assembly.info _log = LogManager.GetLogger(this.GetType()); } [TestMethod] public void FigureOutWhyAborting() { string input = "blah"; LogicalThreadContext.Properties["mypropertyname"] = input; string output = LogicalThreadContext.Properties["mypropertyname"] as string; Assert.AreEqual(input, output); } [TestMethod] public void ThisWorks() { string input = "blah"; CallContext.LogicalSetData("mypropertyname", input); string output = CallContext.LogicalGetData("mypropertyname") as string; Assert.AreEqual(input, output); } ``` The weird thing is that if I were to debug and step through the code,…

Accepted Answer

I ended up doing this to get it working:

put this in the TestCleanup() method:

```
CallContext.FreeNamedDataSlot("log4net.Util.LogicalThreadContextProperties");
```
