Problem using webpack with dateFile Appender

[chenqf6]

The "path" argument must be of type string. Received type undefined" in log4js@5.2.2

@chenqf6 Looks similar to #1008 . Should be fixed in version 6.3.0 of log4js. Can you verify?

This is also happening with the tcp appender when using webpack, and I think would also happen with the other core appenders that are not listed there, such as tcp-server, recording, multiprocess, multifile.

I was trying to work around this by using import * as TCPAppender from 'log4js/lib/appenders/tcp' and then setting type to TCPAppender, but I'm also using typescript, so now typescript complains about their being no declaration file there and having an implicit any. I know I can work around the implicit any problem. It'd be really nice not to have to though.

• dateFileAppender
  

  log4js-node/lib/appenders/index.js

  Line 18 in 9fdbed5

  coreAppenders.set('dateFile', require('./dateFile'));

• tcpAppender (Fix TCP appender with Webpack and Typescript #1028 ) - fixed in log4js@6.4.0

My apologies. I mixed up fileAppender with dateFileAppender and closed this issue wrongly.
Re-opening this issue.

@chenqf6 Can you do a check with log4js@6.4.0?

Closed due to extended period of inactivity.
