</nlog>According to https://github.com/nlog/nlog/wiki/Configuration-file it should be possible to have a configuration in a file called program.exe.nlog where program.exe is the executable for my program.
When the config file is in the applicationname.exe.nlog file, it does not work as expected.
Create a console application with the following Program.cs
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.WriteLine("Hello World!");
foreach (var target in LogManager.Configuration.AllTargets)
Console.WriteLine("Target: {0}", target.Name);
}
}Publish the program with dotnet publish -c Release -r win-x64 and run the executable. The program crashes with Unhandled Exception: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object..
Rename the file to nlog.config and it works as expected.
