Getting double output with the "Short version"

[futuremotiondev]

Start-Logger -MinimumLevel Verbose -Console

Write-VerboseLog "Test verbose message"
Write-DebugLog "Test debug message"
Write-InfoLog "Test info message"
Write-WarningLog "Test warning message"
Write-ErrorLog "Test error message"
Write-FatalLog "Test fatal message"

Close-Logger

Results with this on Pwsh:

How can I suppress the duplicates?

Note: The "Full version" works as expected:

New-Logger | Set-MinimumLevel -Value Verbose | Add-SinkConsole | Start-Logger

Write-VerboseLog "Test verbose message"
Write-DebugLog "Test debug message"
Write-InfoLog "Test info message"
Write-WarningLog "Test warning message"
Write-ErrorLog "Test error message"
Write-FatalLog "Test fatal message"

Close-Logger

Any help would be fantastic.

Hi @visusys

When you instantiate a new logger with the short version and do not pass a FilePath,
it adds both the Console-Sink as well as the PowerShell-Sink to the Logger.
This behaves as you have seen like you get two messages.

Be aware that those two sinks are not the same. The PowerShell sink sends it to the 'correct' PowerShell streams,
while the console sink only supports stdout / error stream.

So the short version behaves like this:

New-Logger | Set-MinimumLevel -Value Verbose | Add-SinkConsole | Add-SinkPowerShell | Start-Logger

Write-VerboseLog "Test verbose message"
Write-DebugLog "Test debug message"
Write-InfoLog "Test info message"
Write-WarningLog "Test warning message"
Write-ErrorLog "Test error message"
Write-FatalLog "Test fatal message"

Close-Logger

For your use case i would advise to just use the full syntax.

Best regards
