Running preview version is not straight forward

[tomkerkhove]

See @meersschautarnaud's remark - #209 (comment) and @fgheysels had issues as well which were sent offline.

This is strange though, since the transitive dependencies are also updated when you reference the MyGet build:

Wait, Arcus.WebApi.Logging.Core is not.

[fgheysels]

mea culpa maximus.

I had used a MyGet preview version (20210505.2.0-preview) instead of the preview version on nuget (2.2.0-preview-1).
With 2.2.0-preview-1, the assemblyload exception does not occur anymore.

But, with the 2.2.0-preview 1 build, my ConsoleLogger still logs the events like this:

{ "ts": 2021-05-06T14:35:48.7273716+02:00, "level": "Warning",   "message": "Events SomeArcusEvent (Context: {"Item": "foo", "Error": "bar"})", "properties": {"SourceContext": "ArcusObservabilityConsoleTest.TestClass", "Item": "foo", "Error": "bar"} }

where it should rather be something like this:

{ "ts": 2021-05-06T14:31:02.1215702+02:00, "level": "Warning",   "message": "{"Type": "Event", "Message": "SomeEvent", "Properties": {"Item": "foo", "Error": "bar"}, "$type": "LogEntry"}", "properties": {"SourceContext": "ArcusObservabilityConsoleTest.TestClass"} }

(The above is done by writting the event like this:

var scope = new Dictionary<string, object>()
{
    ["Item"] = "foo",
    ["Error"] = "bar"
};

LogEntry entry = new LogEntry()
{
    Type = "Event",
    Message = "SomeEvent",
    Properties = scope
};

_logger.LogWarning("{@entry}", entry);

Let's move that conversation to the issue and keep this one to track the preview version pains

[fgheysels]

True. Added some additional info in the issue.

This will make sure that future preview releases will start with the major-minor-patch version of the current package version - which would make combinations of preview/full packages easier. Especially since we also invested in using NuGet package ranges throughout our libraries.
