## Goal
Add NLog file+console logging and surface silent exception swallows in event handler paths across all 4 machine classes.
## Purpose
ISS-003: 18 silent `catch {}` blocks mean production failures are undiagnosable. ISS-004: all output goes to console only — operators cannot send a log file for support. Adding NLog with a rolling file target gives a persistent record for debugging.
## Output
- `nlog.config` — rolling file log + console, next to EXE
- NLog wired into 5 production classes via `LogManager.GetCurrentClassLogger()`
- Event handler catch blocks changed from silent swallow to `_log.Warn`
- Dispose/cleanup catch blocks annotated as intentionally silent (no logging — Dispose must not rethrow)
- Program.cs error catch blocks emit `_log.Error` in addition to existing `Console.WriteLine`

## AC-1: NLog config present and wired
```gherkin
Given nlog.config is placed next to NcProgramManager.exe
When the application starts
Then NLog initialises without throwing (no "NLog configuration file not found" in console)
And a logs/ subdirectory is created containing nc_program_manager.log
```
## AC-2: Event handler exceptions reach the log
```gherkin
Given a StateChanged handler that throws
When SetState() fires in any machine class
Then the exception is caught and logged at WARN level (not silently swallowed)
```
## AC-3: Dispose cleanup catch blocks are annotated
```gherkin
Given all Dispose() and disconnect cleanup catch blocks
When reviewed in code
Then each has a // cleanup — intentionally swallowed comment (no log call — Dispose must not rethrow)
```
## AC-4: Program.cs errors reach the log file
```gherkin
Given any unhandled exception in Scarica, Invia, or arg parsing
When the catch block runs
Then _log.Error(ex, ...) is called BEFORE Console.WriteLine
And all existing Console.WriteLine calls remain unchanged
```
Task 1: Add NLog package and nlog.config
packages.config,
NcProgramManager.csproj,
nlog.config
1. In `packages.config`, add inside ``:
```xml
```
2. In `NcProgramManager.csproj`, inside the existing `` that contains `` entries, add:
```xml
packages\NLog.5.2.8\lib\net46\NLog.dll
True
```
Also in `NcProgramManager.csproj`, inside the `` that contains `` entries (or a new ``), add:
```xml
Always
```
3. Create `nlog.config` in the project root:
```xml
```
Constraints:
- NLog package version is 5.2.8 — supports .NET 4.6+ (project is 4.7.2)
- lib/net46 is the highest .NET Framework target in the NLog 5.x package
- Console rule minlevel=Warn: logger output must NOT duplicate user-facing Console.WriteLine in Program.cs
- `throwConfigExceptions="true"` surfaces config errors at startup rather than silently failing
- Read packages.config: NLog 5.2.8 entry present
- Read NcProgramManager.csproj: Reference to NLog with HintPath present; nlog.config Content entry with CopyToOutputDirectory present
- Read nlog.config: file target with archiving, console target, two rules present
AC-1 satisfied: NLog wired into build; nlog.config copied to output directory on build
Task 2: Wire logger into machine classes and fix event handler catches
Cnc/Fanuc/FanucMachine.cs,
Cnc/Heidenhain/HeidenhainMachine.cs,
Cnc/Heidenhain/Lsv2Client.cs,
Cnc/Siemens/SiemensMachine.cs,
Cnc/Mitsubishi/MitsubishiMachine.cs
For each of the 5 files:
**A. Add using directive at top:**
```csharp
using NLog;
```
**B. Add logger field** inside the class, after existing private fields:
```csharp
private static readonly Logger _log = LogManager.GetCurrentClassLogger();
```
**C. Fix event handler catch blocks** — there is one `SetState` method in each machine class containing:
```csharp
try { h(this, next); } catch { }
```
Replace with:
```csharp
try { h(this, next); } catch (Exception ex) { _log.Warn(ex, "StateChanged handler threw"); }
```
**D. Annotate Dispose() cleanup catches** — do NOT add logging (Dispose must not rethrow):
```csharp
try { DisconnectAsync().GetAwaiter().GetResult(); } catch { /* cleanup — intentionally swallowed */ }
try { _gate.Dispose(); } catch { /* cleanup — intentionally swallowed */ }
```
**For Lsv2Client specifically (no SetState, no _gate):**
- Add `using NLog;` and `private static readonly Logger _log = LogManager.GetCurrentClassLogger();`
- In `Connect()` timeout branch: `try { _tcp.Close(); } catch { /* cleanup — intentionally swallowed */ }`
- In `Disconnect()`: annotate all 3 cleanup catches with `/* cleanup — intentionally swallowed */`
- Add connect/disconnect info logging:
```csharp
// At start of Connect(), before _tcp = new TcpClient():
_log.Info("Connecting to {0}:{1}", _config.IpAddress, _config.Port);
// After successful Login():
_log.Info("Connected to {0}", _config.IpAddress);
// At start of Disconnect():
_log.Info("Disconnecting from {0}", _config.IpAddress);
```
Constraints:
- Do NOT add logging inside `Dispose()` or disposal catch blocks — Dispose must not throw and logging adds failure risk
- Do NOT change `catch (Exception ex) { _errors.Add(...); }` blocks — already handled correctly
- Do NOT change `catch (OperationCanceledException)` blocks — correct behavior
- Logger is `static readonly` (one per class type, not per instance) — NLog standard pattern
- Do NOT add `using NLog;` if already present (check first)
- Grep for `LogManager.GetCurrentClassLogger()` in all 5 files — must appear exactly once per file
- Grep for `try { h(this, next); } catch { }` — must return 0 results (all replaced)
- Grep for `_log.Warn(ex` — must appear in FanucMachine, HeidenhainMachine, SiemensMachine, MitsubishiMachine
- Read Lsv2Client.cs: verify info logging at connect/disconnect, cleanup catch annotations present
AC-2 and AC-3 satisfied: event handler exceptions logged at WARN; cleanup catches annotated as intentional
Task 3: Add file logging to Program.cs error catch blocks
Program.cs
1. Add `using NLog;` to the using directives at top of Program.cs.
2. Add logger field inside the `Program` class (or at the start of Main — static field):
```csharp
private static readonly Logger _log = LogManager.GetCurrentClassLogger();
```
3. In the arg parsing catch block (currently around line 19):
```csharp
catch (Exception e)
{
_log.Error(e, "Arg parsing failed");
Console.Write("Gestore Programmi FANUC: ");
Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
// ... rest unchanged
```
4. In the `Scarica` catch block (currently around line 157):
```csharp
catch (Exception ex)
{
_log.Error(ex, "Scarica failed");
Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
// ... rest unchanged
```
5. In the `Invia` catch block (currently around line 253):
```csharp
catch (Exception ex)
{
_log.Error(ex, "Invia failed");
Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
// ... rest unchanged
```
Constraints:
- `_log.Error(ex, ...)` MUST come BEFORE `Console.WriteLine(ex.Message)` — log first, then display
- ALL existing Console.WriteLine calls remain exactly as-is — do not modify or remove any
- Do NOT add logging for license failure (`Console.WriteLine("Licenza ERRATA")`) — that's a known condition, not an exception
- Do NOT add a `NLog.LogManager.Shutdown()` call — not needed for a short-lived console EXE
- Read Program.cs: `using NLog;` present
- Read Program.cs: `_log` field present
- Grep for `_log.Error` in Program.cs — must appear 3 times
- Grep for `Console.WriteLine` in Program.cs — must still be 97 (unchanged count)
AC-4 satisfied: all 3 Program.cs error paths log to file before Console.WriteLine; no Console.WriteLine removed
## DO NOT CHANGE
- `Licensing/LicenseValidator.cs` — public key constant must not be modified
- `Licensing/MachineFingerprint.cs` — fixed in Phase 13; not in scope
- `NcProgramManager.Tests/` — no test changes in this phase
- `Cnc/**/` catch blocks already handling exceptions via `_errors.Add(...)` — correct, leave alone
- All existing `Console.WriteLine` calls — supplemented only, never replaced
## SCOPE LIMITS
- No logging inside Dispose() or cleanup catch paths — comment only
- No replacement of user-facing Console.WriteLine — file logging supplements via NLog
- No logging for known control-flow conditions (license failure, validation failure) — only unexpected exceptions
- No async/await changes — ISS-002 is a separate phase
- No NuGet package other than NLog — no wrapper abstraction, no DI container
Before declaring plan complete:
- [ ] `packages.config` contains NLog 5.2.8 entry
- [ ] `NcProgramManager.csproj` has NLog Reference with HintPath and nlog.config as Content/CopyAlways
- [ ] `nlog.config` exists with file target (archiving) + console target (Warn+) + rules
- [ ] All 5 machine/client files: `LogManager.GetCurrentClassLogger()` field present
- [ ] `try { h(this, next); } catch { }` — zero occurrences remain in codebase
- [ ] Dispose cleanup catches in all 4 machine classes: annotated with comment
- [ ] Lsv2Client.Disconnect() catches: annotated with comment
- [ ] Program.cs: 3× `_log.Error` added before Console.WriteLine; 97× Console.WriteLine count unchanged
- All 3 tasks completed
- All 4 ACs covered
- ISS-003 addressed: event handler swallows surfaced; cleanup swallows documented
- ISS-004 addressed: NLog file+console logging wired into all production classes
- No existing tests broken (no test files modified)
- No production behavior changed for operators (Console.WriteLine output identical)
