With NodeJS in VSCode all console.log logs have a clickable link which takes you to the source code line where the log was generated:

How can we achieve the same result with csharp?

The goal should be that each log entry is clickable to take one to the source code location.

I did some googling and didnt find a standard solution for that. Since I do not know how familiar you are with C#, I created the following example to demonstrate the wanted behaviour. First you want to use the ILoggerFactory to implement a custom logging instance. Then we will need a custom Log extension method which outputs the filepath including the filenumber. Visual Studio Code will then catch the link making it clickable.

using Microsoft.Extensions.Logging;
using System.Runtime.CompilerServices;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.Console;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.Abstractions;

using ILoggerFactory loggerFactory = LoggerFactory.Create(builder =>
        {
            builder.AddConsole(options =>
            {
                options.FormatterName = "lineLogger";
            })
            .AddConsoleFormatter<CustomFormatter, ConsoleFormatterOptions>();
        });

var _logger = loggerFactory.CreateLogger<Program>();
_logger.LogWithLocation("Test Log");

public class CustomFormatter : ConsoleFormatter
{
    public CustomFormatter() : base("lineLogger") { }
    public override void Write<TState>(in LogEntry<TState> logEntry, IExternalScopeProvider scopeProvider, TextWriter textWriter)
    {
        textWriter.WriteLine($"{logEntry.Formatter(logEntry.State, logEntry.Exception)}");
    }
}
public static class LoggerExtensions
{
    public static void LogWithLocation(this ILogger logger, string message, [CallerFilePath] string filePath = "", [CallerLineNumber] int lineNumber = 0)
    {
        logger.LogInformation($"{message} ({filePath}:{lineNumber})");
    }
}

as a side note, I got an error saying that ILoggerFactory contains no definition for AddConsole. I found this answer 'ILoggerFactory' does not contain a definition for 'AddConsole' So simply add the package like this:

dotnet add package Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.Console

You will also need the Microsoft.Extensions.Logging + Abstractions packages. I also created a fiddle to show you how it works with the classical top level statements here https://dotnetfiddle/q680Vj

edit: I changed the implementation to an extension method of the ILoggerFactory which makes the method reusable across every instance of an ILogger instance. Also included using statements.

To help clarify @Aaron's answer and provide an example which works on https://dotnetfiddle/:

using System.IO;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Logging;
using System.Runtime.CompilerServices;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.Console;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.Abstractions;

namespace MyProject;
class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        using ILoggerFactory loggerFactory = LoggerFactory.Create(builder =>
        {
            builder.AddConsole(options =>
            {
                options.FormatterName = "lineLogger";
            }).AddConsoleFormatter<CustomFormatter, ConsoleFormatterOptions>();
        });
        var _logger = loggerFactory.CreateLogger<Program>();
        _logger.LogWithLocation("Test Log");
    }
}

public class CustomFormatter : ConsoleFormatter
{
    public CustomFormatter() : base("lineLogger")
    {
    }

    public override void Write<TState>(in LogEntry<TState> logEntry, IExternalScopeProvider scopeProvider, TextWriter textWriter)
    {
        textWriter.WriteLine($"{logEntry.Formatter(logEntry.State, logEntry.Exception)}");
    }
}

public static class LoggerExtensions
{
    public static void LogWithLocation(this ILogger logger, string message, [CallerFilePath] string filePath = "", [CallerLineNumber] int lineNumber = 0)
    {
        logger.LogInformation($"{message} ({filePath}:{lineNumber})");
    }
}

Obviously on dotnetfiddle there are no filenames so the output is something like:

Test Log (:20)

But typically you would have the filename:

Test Log (C:\temp\Program.cs:20)
