The setup of your test context in XUnit is typically done through the constructor. For context cleanup, you can add the IDisposable
interface to your test class, and put the cleanup code in the Dispose()
method.
But what if your setup/teardown logic contains some async methods? It would certainly be an anti-pattern to add this code inside your synchronous constructor or Dispose.
The correct way to do this in XUnit is through the IAsyncLifetime interface:
This interface provides you an async alternative to manage the lifetime of your test context. It can be used inside your test classes directly but also works in Class and Collection fixtures.
