Scoped container dispose issue about specflow.dependencyinjection

[mbhoek]

Unfortunately I won't be patching the current version, all my available time will be focused on the v4 release (first version is in preview right now). If you want to complete negate the disposing of classes I'd recommend trying v3.9.2. I have no knowledge of the Specflow v4 release timeline, I'm just trying to keep up with their betas.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Basically you need link IServiceCollection lifetime with BoDi container lifetime.

Register relay disposers directly into container from arguments with dispose: true on RuntimePluginEvents.CustomizeScenarioDependencies and RuntimePluginEvents.CustomizeFeatureDependencies events.

Example:

internal class SpecFlowRuntimePlugin : IRuntimePlugin
{
    public void Initialize(RuntimePluginEvents runtimePluginEvents, RuntimePluginParameters runtimePluginParameters, UnitTestProviderConfiguration unitTestProviderConfiguration)
    {
        runtimePluginEvents.CustomizeFeatureDependencies += RuntimePluginEventsOnCustomizeFeatureDependencies;
        runtimePluginEvents.CustomizeScenarioDependencies += RuntimePluginEventsOnCustomizeScenarioDependencies;
    }

    private void RuntimePluginEventsOnCustomizeFeatureDependencies(object sender, CustomizeFeatureDependenciesEventArgs e)
    {
        // Initialize child DI scope for feature

        var disposer = new RelayDispose(() =>
        {
            // Dispose child DI scope here
        });

        e.ObjectContainer.RegisterInstanceAs(disposer, dispose: true);
    }

    private void RuntimePluginEventsOnCustomizeScenarioDependencies(object sender, CustomizeScenarioDependenciesEventArgs e)
    {
        // Initialize child DI scope for scenario

        var disposer = new RelayDispose(() =>
        {
            // Dispose child DI scope here
        });

        e.ObjectContainer.RegisterInstanceAs(disposer, dispose: true);
    }
}

public class RelayDispose : IDisposable
    {
        private readonly Action _disposeAction;

        public RelayDispose(Action disposeAction)
        {
            _disposeAction = disposeAction;
        }

        public void Dispose()
        {
            _disposeAction?.Invoke();
        }
    }

I will create PR if you are still supporting this package. Please, let me know.

Hey @BlackGad, thanks for reporting this issue. These changes were introduced in #74 and in hindsight I should've had a better understanding of it before merging. For the next major release (aiming for right after they release SpecFlow v4) I'll be reworking a lot of these changes, and I'm also going to bring it more in line with how the official Autofac plugin works (e.g. they introduced a a [FeatureDependencies] tag for scoping to features).

Having said that I will consider your solution because it makes a lot of sense, so I'm adding it to the milestone. No need for a PR because the code will probably change a lot before release. Thanks again!

[BlackGad]

Thank you! But it is crucial issue for me right now :) Is there any chance to provide patch to current released version?

And happy new year!

[BlackGad]

Btw do you know specflow 4 release date?

Is this a bug or a feature?

I'm trying to move from AdCodicem.SpecFlow.MicrosoftDependencyInjection, but I get mulitple scope/dispose issues which are hard to find out. (locally it works, on CI it fails)

[mbhoek]

@304NotModified Hmm, weird that it works locally but fails in CI -- sounds like a bug. Would you be willing to check against v3.9.2 and see if that changes anything? Migration from AdCodicem's plugin is still an outstanding issue (#86).

I am looking to fix most of the async and disposable problems with the release of SpecFlow v4 (they did a lot of work in there which I depend on), but unfortunately the release of v4 (or even the current state of SpecFlow) seems very unclear atm.
