How to use

using Microsoft.Build.Utilities;
using Serilog;

public class MyTask: Task {

    public override bool Execute() {
        using (ILogger _logger = new LoggerConfiguration().WriteTo.MSBuild(this).CreateLogger()) {
            _logger.Information("Hello from my custom Serilog-powered task");
            // [...]
            return true;

Important properties

Some Serilog properties carry meaningful information for MSBuild, like message code, file and line and column numbers.

They are covered in Serilog.Sinks.MSBuild.MSBuildMessages.

.NET Framework 4.5 and MSBuild versions prior to 15 are no longer supported.

Specifying help links for warnings and errors is now supported through a new logging property.

The translation from Serilog to MSBuild events is streamlined:
Serilog errors and fatals are both mapped as MSBuild errors and treated identically,
and if a Serilog message has an exception, its ToString() representation will be appended to the end.
