asp.net core web Api integration testing with startup having static file configuration - asp.net-core

Question

I was trying to implement integration testing for my api. But, it is saying System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException : ..WebApi.IntegrationTest\bin\Debug\net6.0\Files\ while I run the test
here is my startup code
public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IWebHostEnvironment env)
{
if (env.IsDevelopment())
{
app.UseDeveloperExceptionPage();
}
app.UseBlazorFrameworkFiles();
app.UseStaticFiles(new StaticFileOptions
{
FileProvider = new PhysicalFileProvider(Path.Combine(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory(), #"Files")),
RequestPath = new PathString("/Files")
});
app.UseHttpsRedirection();
app.UseRouting();
app.UseCors("CorsPolicy");
app.UseAuthentication();
app.UseAuthorization();
app.UseEndpoints(endpoints =>
{
endpoints.MapControllers();
});
app.Initialize(Configuration);
}
when I comment out UseStaticFiles it passes the test else it fails with the above. exception
here is my CustomWebApplicationFactory
public class CustomWebApplicationFactory<TStartup> : WebApplicationFactory<TStartup> where TStartup : class
{
protected override void ConfigureWebHost(IWebHostBuilder builder)
{
builder.ConfigureServices(services =>
{
services.AddDbContext<ApplicationDbContext>(options =>
{
options.UseInMemoryDatabase("ApplicationDbContextInMemoryTest");
})
.AddControllers()
.AddApplicationPart(typeof(Startup).Assembly);
var sp = services.BuildServiceProvider();
using (var scope = sp.CreateScope())
{
var scopedService = scope.ServiceProvider;
var context = scopedService.GetRequiredService<ApplicationDbContext>();
var logger = scopedService.GetRequiredService<ILogger<CustomWebApplicationFactory<TStartup>>>();
context.Database.EnsureCreated();
try
{
Utilities.InitializeDbForTests(context);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
logger.LogError(ex, $"An error occured seeding the database with test messages, Error: {ex.Message}");
}
}
});
}
protected override IHost CreateHost(IHostBuilder builder)
{
builder.UseContentRoot(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory());
return base.CreateHost(builder);
}
public HttpClient GetAnonymousClient()
{
return CreateClient();
}
}
I tried a lot to fix it but I was not able, please help me, thank you!
