Broken with Serilog v3

System.MissingMethodException: Method not found: 'Void Serilog.Parsing.TextToken..ctor(System.String, Int32)'.

Culprit: this change

Just confirming that in my project, after moving to .NET 8.0 and upgrading Serilog, I'm seeing the same issue using Redbox.Serilog.Stackdriver.

I'm unsure what dependency of all the Serilog dlls this comes from (I first thought Serilog.Sinks.Console). I've updated everything to the latest stable (v4.x Serilog), but this is clearly still happening in Serilog v4.0....

Basically: console logging cannot be used with Serilog anymore since version 3? Anybody aware of a workaround?

This fork may work for you: https://www.nuget.org/packages/Raileasy.Serilog.Stackdriver

Oh, awesome!!! I'm gonna give it a try 🙏

[abelbraaksma]

@lol768, unfortunately, it didn't work. The same error is still there. I tried downgrading the Serilog assembly, but that had no effect either.

[abelbraaksma]

wait. It still shows Redbox.Serilog.Stackdriver (as opposed to Raileasy.Serilog.Stackdriver in the stacktrace). I think I have a cached dependency or something. The transient dependency was not resolved properly. Weird. Ok, continuing research.... lol

[lol768]

I was gonna say: that is odd, we're using Serilog (albeit 3.1.1) and that particular package (v1.2.2) with .NET 8 in production today. Package shenanigans might explain it, but do shout if you continue to have issues

[abelbraaksma]

Yeah, my bad. I used docker-compose up and forgot to do a rebuild with docker-compose build --no-cache.

The same issue did not occur when running directly, hence the caching issue. It works!!!! 🪂
