.net core 2.0 ConfigureLogging xunit test

Question

In my xUnit integration test in my .NET Core 2.0 project, I do not see the log messages in the terminal, which also prints the test results. When the code runs in a WebHost environment, logs are printed on the console.

This is how I configure logging in the test designer:

var config = new ConfigurationBuilder()
    .AddJsonFile("appsettings.Tests.json")
    .Build();

var services = new ServiceCollection();

services.AddLogging(options => {
    options.AddConfiguration(config.GetSection("Logging"));
    options.AddConsole();
    options.AddDebug();
});

var serviceProvider = services.BuildServiceProvider();
var loggerFactory = serviceProvider.GetService<ILoggerFactory>();
var logger = loggerFactory.CreateLogger("Test");
logger.LogError("From ctor");

But I do not see the messages in the log.

xUnit has changed in version 2 to no longer display standard output for tests:

xUnit.net 1.x, , , Console, Debug Trace. xUnit.net v2 , , ; , , , .

. , , , ITestOutputHelper.

, ASP.NET Core. , . . :

public class Example
{
    private readonly ILogger<Example> _logger;

    public Example(ITestOutputHelper testOutputHelper)
    {
        var loggerFactory = new LoggerFactory();
        loggerFactory.AddProvider(new XunitLoggerProvider(testOutputHelper));
        _logger = loggerFactory.CreateLogger<Example>();
    }

    [Fact]
    public void Test()
    {
        _logger.LogDebug("Foo bar baz");
    }
}
