Using log4net and xUnit

We have a code that posts messages to log4net and would like to see the same messages that were issued when we run tests of this code in xUnit.

Is there a way to tell xUnit to run log4net? I have changed the .config file for xunit.console. It is working fine, but there is no sign of registration activity.

Typically when log4net unit testing is logarithm, MemoryAppender is used like this:



private MemoryAppender testAppender;

[SetUp]
public void SetUp()
{
    testAppender = new MemoryAppender();
    BasicConfigurator.Configure(testAppender);

    // etc    
}

[Test]
public void TestLogging()
{
   // etc

   var events = testAppender().GetEvents();
   Assert.AreEqual(1, events.Count()); 
}
