Very glad you have PRed this in it was on my list of ones to do if someone hadn't :)

👋🏻 G'Day @montanehamilton ,

question: what is the use case for having Seq in a TC? I use Seq all the time .. love it! but ... I've never seen a use for it as a test container?

I'm really curious to learn why.

Logging is a requirement and ensuring applications can actually log and that those logs actually get to the logging provider, in this case Seq, is a nice, automated test to have. Maintaining a library that has additional logic in a custom Seq client means one should make sure it actually works against the target provider.

Hmm .. ok. So if I'm reading this correctly, you're testing that your logging configuration (to seq) is correct? Or you're testing either the MS-Logging to Serilog-Logging method you're using to log .. works?

Implicitly we're "testing" those perhaps but the point is to ensure the values we expect on our logs get logged. We're really testing how we're using those methods and doing an automated integration test to assert it's all working correctly and we're sending the expected properties.

No different to using a database container to run an integration test for our application even though we use Entity Framework or Dapper. Regardless of them "working" how you use them matters.
