xUnit, SpecFlow Selenium and ITestOutputHelper problem

Question

Still having a problem with a automation test project in VS Code using C#, Selenium, SpecFlow and xUnit I am trying to output to logs with ITestOutputHelper as the test progress.

So I have this class

using Xunit.Abstractions;

[Binding]
public class Logging
{
    private readonly ITestOutputHelper _testOutputHelper;

    public Logging(ITestOutputHelper testOutputHelper)
    {
        _testOutputHelper = testOutputHelper;
    }

    public void WriteOutput(string theMessage)
    {
        _testOutputHelper.WriteLine(theMessage);
    }
}

Which is called from this class

public static class WriteLog
{
    static string _logout;

    public static void WriteLogData(string logout)
    {
        _logout = logout;
    }

    public static void WriteToLog(this Logging logger)
    {
        logger.WriteOutput(_logout);
    }
}

And I am trying to call WriteLog from the tests with the following

public static void WriteToReport(string theMessage)
{
    WriteLog. WriteLogData(theMessage);
    WriteLog. WriteToLog();
}

But I get an error with WriteLog.WriteToLog(); The error is

There is no argument given that corresponds to the required formal parameter 'logger' of 'WriteLog.WriteToLog(Logging)'

So my question is, how do I send log information to Logging.WriteOutput?

Can anyone offer any advice please?

Thanks in advance

This was the solution

Step Class TestAppSteps

using Xunit.Abstractions;

[Binding]
public sealed class TestAppSteps : TestAppPage
{
    public TestAppSteps(ITestOutputHelper output) : base(output)
    {
    }

    code
}           

Page Class TestAppPage
using Xunit.Abstractions;

public class TestAppPage : PageAssertions
{

    public TestAppPage(ITestOutputHelper output) : base(output)
    {

    }
    
    code
}

Utility Class PageAssertions using Xunit.Abstractions;

public class PageAssertions : SharedClass
{
    public PageAssertions(ITestOutputHelper output) : base(output) { }

    code inc'
    WriteToReport("Pass: URL is correct");
}

Utility Class SharedClass using Xunit.Abstractions;

public abstract class SharedClass : OutputFunctions
{
    public SharedClass(ITestOutputHelper output) 
        : base(output)
    {
    }
    
    shared code including
    WriteToReport(GetTheCurrentMethod());
}   

Abstract Class OutputFunctions

using Xunit.Abstractions;

public abstract class OutputFunctions
{
    protected readonly ITestOutputHelper _output;

    public OutputFunctions(ITestOutputHelper output)
    {
        _output = output;
    }

    public void WriteToReport(string theMessage)
    {
        _output.WriteLine(theMessage);
    }
}
