SpecFlow.SimpleInjector

SpecFlow plugin for using SimpleInjector as a dependency injection framework for step definitions.

NuGet: https://www.nuget.org/packages/SpecFlow.SimpleInjector

Usage

Install plugin from NuGet into your SpecFlow project.

PM> Install-Package SpecFlow.SimpleInjector

Create a static method somewhere in the SpecFlow project (recommended to put it into the Support folder) that returns an SimpleInjector Container and tag it with the [ScenarioDependencies] attribute. Configure your dependencies for the scenario execution within the method.

A typical dependency builder method probably looks like this:

[ScenarioDependencies]
public static Container CreateContainer()
{
  // create container with the runtime dependencies
  var builder = Dependencies.CreateContainer();

  //TODO: add customizations, stubs required for testing

  return builder;
}
