Problem
The integration test fails after the controller method is invoked:
var response = await _client.PostAsync("/api/controller", stringContent);
It fails because AutoMapper has not been initialised.
The way I understood this was that since the TestServer
has the UseStartup
method, it should use all the services configured in the api Startup.cs
class (the UseContentRoot
is pointing to my api project root)
This clearly isn't happening. Could someone show me how I need to configure the TestServer
so that the AutoMapper configuration is picked up correctly please?
