An "FileNotFound" exception was thrown when I used NLogIntegration without nlog.config:

var logFactory = new NLogFactory();
var log = logFactory.Create("castle.log.Program");
log.Info("Hello world!");

The behavior is in contrast to NLogs. The code below will not throw exception even without nlog.config:

var log = NLog.LogManager.GetCurrentClassLogger();
log.Info("Hello world!");

Even though there is a workaround by creating factory with new NLogFactory(true), but I could not found it anywhere in the documentation. This behavior also propagates to LoggingFacility in Windsor.

I suggest to change the default behavior to matching NLogs as Castle's logging is just a wrapper around NLog and should not change its default behavior, or alternatively to update the documentation highlighting the different.

The version I used:

• netcoreapp2.1
• Castle.Core 4.3.1
• Castle.Core-NLog 4.3.1
