Delphi have some problem with namespace of generics types (maybe because this types is created on runtime and the reference is the unit that this class is created).

So, to workaround this bug, I created specialized classes that is only to map the generic type to a new specialized type on a new unit.

In your case (marjanve), try create a unit called File_Logger_Specialized and put all generic types (like a TList<>, TDicionary<>) in this new unit, create a new class for each generic type and replace these generics types on File_Logger unit with the respective new specialized type that you created.

After this changes, run the codecovarege tool again and check if this bug still happen.
