Unable to specify a string array

[farzadmf]

Hi,

I'm using Serilog.Sinks.AzureTableStorage package and more specifically, the WriteTo.AzureTableStorageWithProperties, which accepts a propertyColumns argument, which is of type string[].

No matter what I tried, I can't make it work so that I can pass an array of strings in my appsettings.json (or using the colon-separated syntax from my environment variables).

I tried doing something like this in appsettings.json:

WriteTo: [
  // ...
  {
    "Name": "AzureTableStorageWithProperties",
    "Args": {
      // ...
      "propertyColumns": [ "Column1", "Column2" ]
    }
  }
]

But I get an error saying that Argument value should be of type Action<>.

I tried this: "propertyColumns": "Column1, Column2", but this one also blows.

I also tried using environment variables, e.g.:

Serilog:WriteTo:2:Args:propertyColumns:0="Column1"
Serilog:WriteTo:2:Args:propertyColumns:1="Column2"

But, again no luck :(

So, is it possible somehow to specify a string array using this library? If so, what am I missing here?

I would really, really appreciate if you help me out here

Sorry if I'm asking a stupid question, but are these changes available in the NuGet package? Version 2.6.1 seems to be too old to contain these changes. Is it released as a pre-release version?

https://www.nuget.org/packages/Serilog.Settings.Configuration/3.0.0-dev-00103 is the one you're looking for 👍
