I'm building integration tests in .NET 9 C# using xUnit and TestContainers, and I'm facing a problem where a new database container is created for each test class instead of sharing one container across all tests. I'm attempting to use xUnit collection fixtures to initialize a shared database container, but I get the error:
The following constructor parameters did not have matching fixture data: IntegrationTestWebAppFactory factory
I want to ensure that only one container is started for all test classes, and I'm using Respawn to reset the database between tests with seed data loaded from SQL files. Here is my current setup:
DatabaseFixture

Previously, I had the database configuration inside IntegrationTestWebAppFactory, but that led to multiple databases being created. Now, I'm trying to move the configuration so that a single database container is used across all test classes.
Can someone help me figure out what I'm doing wrong and how to properly configure xUnit fixtures to share the database container?

The error
“The following constructor parameters did not have matching fixture data: IntegrationTestWebAppFactory factory”
means that xUnit couldn’t find a fixture of type IntegrationTestWebAppFactory to pass to your test’s constructor. In other words, xUnit isn’t “injecting” an instance of IntegrationTestWebAppFactory because the test class isn’t properly associated with a collection that provides it.
Below are some troubleshooting steps and solutions:
Right now you have two collection definitions:
Because your IntegrationTestWebAppFactory itself depends on DatabaseFixture (it receives one via its constructor), it can be used as the single collection fixture. Then your test classes must be associated with that same collection.
Solution: Create a single collection that registers the IntegrationTestWebAppFactory as its fixture. For example:
CSHARPnamespace Integration.Tests.Abstractions { [CollectionDefinition("IntegrationTests")] public class IntegrationTestsCollection : ICollectionFixture<IntegrationTestWebAppFactory> { // This class has no code. Its purpose is to define the collection. } }
Then update your test classes (or base class) to reference that collection:
CSHARPusing Xunit; namespace Tests.Integration.Tests.Fornecedor { [Collection("IntegrationTests")] public class SupplierTests : BaseIntegrationTest { public SupplierTests(IntegrationTestWebAppFactory factory) : base(factory) { } [Fact] public async Task ShuldReturn10() { // Arrange _client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("X-TenantId", "1"); // Act var suppliers = await _client.GetFromJsonAsync<List<SupplierEntity>>("/api/supplier"); // Assert Assert.NotNull(suppliers); Assert.IsType<List<SupplierEntity>>(suppliers); Assert.Equal(10, suppliers.Count); } } }
And update your BaseIntegrationTest as needed (remove the [CollectionDefinition]
there, because that attribute is used to define a collection fixture on a separate class, not a base test class):
CSHARPnamespace Integration.Tests.Abstractions { public abstract class BaseIntegrationTest : IAsyncLifetime { protected readonly IServiceScope _scope; private readonly Func<Task> _resetDatabase; protected readonly ISender Sender; protected readonly HttpClient _client; protected BaseIntegrationTest(IntegrationTestWebAppFactory factory) { _scope = factory.Services.CreateScope(); Sender = _scope.ServiceProvider.GetRequiredService<ISender>(); _client = factory.HttpClient; _resetDatabase = factory.ResetDataBaseAsync; } public virtual Task InitializeAsync() => Task.CompletedTask; public virtual async Task DisposeAsync() { await _resetDatabase(); _scope.Dispose(); _client.Dispose(); } } }
[Collection("CollectionName")]
attribute.[CollectionDefinition]
only defines the collection. It does not “apply” to every test class automatically—even if inherited. You must decorate each test class (or a base test class that is not abstract) with [Collection("...")]
.Since your test constructor requires an instance of IntegrationTestWebAppFactory, xUnit will only supply it if your test belongs to a collection that is registered with ICollectionFixture<IntegrationTestWebAppFactory>
.
What Went Wrong:
You have a mismatch between the fixture type expected in the test class constructor (IntegrationTestWebAppFactory) and the collection that’s applied. The test class isn’t being associated with the correct collection fixture because of either using multiple collections or using [CollectionDefinition]
on a base class which does not automatically apply to test classes.
How to Fix:
– Define one collection that registers IntegrationTestWebAppFactory (the type that your tests rely on).
– Decorate your test classes (or their non-abstract base) with [Collection("YourCollectionName")]
.
– Remove the redundant or conflicting collection definitions to ensure a single shared container is used.
By doing these steps, xUnit will properly provide an instance of IntegrationTestWebAppFactory through the shared collection fixture to all tests.

Rather than making your application factory a fixture, you'll want to create a separate fixture which is in charge of managing the application factory.
CSHARPpublic sealed class HostAndDatabaseFixture : IAsyncLifetime { public DatabaseFixture DbFixture { get; } public WebApplicationFactory<Program> WebApplicationFactory { get; } public HttpClient Client { get; } public HostAndDatabaseFixture() { DbFixture = new DatabaseFixture(); WebApplicationFactory = new IntegrationTestWebAppFactory(DbFixture); Client = WebApplicationFactory.CreateDefaultClient(); } public Task InitializeAsync() => Task.Completed; public async Task DisposeAsync() { await WebApplicationFactory.DisposeAsync(); await DbFixture.DisposeAsync(); } }
CSHARPpublic class IntegrationTestWebAppFactory : WebApplicationFactory<Program> { private readonly DatabaseFixture _dbFixture; private string _connectionString = null!; public IntegrationTestWebAppFactory(DatabaseFixture dbFixture) { _dbFixture = dbFixture; } protected override void ConfigureWebHost(IWebHostBuilder builder) { _connectionString = _dbFixture.ConnectionString.Replace("master", "myDB"); builder.ConfigureTestServices(services => { // Remove serviços services.RemoveAll(typeof(DbContextOptions<MyDbContext>)); services.RemoveAll(typeof(DbContextOptions<DbIcalaContext>)); services.RemoveAll(typeof(IOptions<IscalaDbOptions>)); services.AddOptions(); services.AddDbContext<MyDbContext>(opt => { opt.UseSqlServer(_connectionString); }); services.AddDbContext<DbIcalaContext>(); var iscalaOptions = new IscalaDbOptions { ConnectionString = _connectionString.Replace("myDB", "{BaseERP}"), }; services.AddSingleton<IOptions<IscalaDbOptions>>(_ => Options.Create(iscalaOptions)); }); } }
Your test class needs to be decorated with Collection
, not CollectionDefinition
.
CSHARP[Collection(nameof(SharadTestCollection))] public class BaseIntegrationTest : IAsyncLifetime { protected HostAndDatabaseFixture Fixture { get; } protected HttpClient Client { get; } protected IServiceScope Scope { get; } protected ISender Sender => fixture.Scope.ServiceProvider.GetRequiredService<ISender>(); protected BaseIntegrationTest(HostAndDatabaseFixture fixture) { Fixture = fixture; Client = fixture.Client; Scope = factory.Services.CreateScope(); } public virtual Task InitializeAsync() => Task.Completed; public virtual async Task DisposeAsync() { await DbFixture.ResetDataBaseAsync(); Scope.Dispose(); } }
CSHARPpublic class SupplierTests : BaseIntegrationTest { public SupplierTests(HostAndDatabaseFixture fixture) : base(fixture) { } [Fact] public async Task ShuldReturn10() { // Arrange Client.DefaultRequestHeaders .Add("X-TenantId", "1"); // Act var suppliers = await Client.GetFromJsonAsync<List<SupplierEntity>>("/api/supplier"); // Assert Assert.NotNull(fornecedores); Assert.IsType<List<SupplierEntity>>(fornecedores); var qtdeSupplier = 10; Assert.Equal(suppliers.Count, qtdeSupplier); } }

The error you are seeing is related to xUnit's dependency injection setup, and your configuration is not supported. Class or collection fixtures only support default constructors. However, the class IntegrationTestWebAppFactory
is an ICollectionFixture<TFixture>
and uses a non-default constructor, which is not allowed.
xUnit.net may not be very explicit about this, but the recommendation is:
If you have need to control creation order and/or have dependencies between fixtures, you should create a class which encapsulates the other two fixtures, so that it can do the object creation itself.
