This MIT-licensed library (developed by me) (Xunit.Microsoft.DependencyInjection) supports .NET 8.0 and brings in Microsoft's dependency injection container to Xunit by leveraging Xunit's fixture.
Getting started
Nuget package
First add the following nuget package to your Xunit project:
Install-Package Xunit.Microsoft.DependencyInjection
Setup your fixture
The abstract class of Xunit.Microsoft.DependencyInjection.Abstracts.TestBedFixture
contains the necessary functionalities to add services and configurations to Microsoft's dependency injection container. Your concrete test fixture class must derive from this abstract class and implement the following two abstract methods:
protected abstract IEnumerable<string> GetConfigurationFiles();
protected abstract void AddServices(IServiceCollection services, IConfiguration configuration);
GetConfigurationFiles(...)
method returns a collection of the configuration files in your Xunit test project to the framework. AddServices(...)
method must be used to wire up the implemented services.
Access the wired up services
There are two method that you can use to access the wired up service depending on your context:
public T GetScopedService<T>(ITestOutputHelper testOutputHelper);
public T GetService<T>(ITestOutputHelper testOutputHelper);
Adding custom logging provider
Test developers can add their own desired logger provider by overriding AddLoggingProvider(...)
virtual method defined in TestBedFixture
class.
Preparing Xunit test classes
Your Xunit test class must be derived from Xunit.Microsoft.DependencyInjection.Abstracts.TestBed<T>
class where T
should be your fixture class derived from TestBedFixture
.
Also, the test class should be decorated by the following attribute:
[CollectionDefinition("Dependency Injection")]
Running tests in order
The library also has a bonus feature that simplifies running tests in order. The test class does not have to be derived from TestBed<T>
class though and it can apply to all Xunit classes.
Decorate your Xunit test class with the following attribute and associate TestOrder(...)
with Fact
and Theory
:
[TestCaseOrderer("Xunit.Microsoft.DependencyInjection.TestsOrder.TestPriorityOrderer", "Xunit.Microsoft.DependencyInjection")]
Examples
- Please follow this link to view a couple of examples on utilizing this library.
- Digital Silo's unit tests and integration tests are using this library.
One more thing

- Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection
- Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration
- Microsoft.Extensions.Options
- Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.Binder
- Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.FileExtensions
- Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.Json
