Issue Description

Hi :)

My team work with XUnit + Reqnroll for our testing. I recently tried bumping xunit to the new v3 only to be greeted with errors relating to the IAsyncLifetime of Xunit v3. I'm aware that there have been changes as per the migration guide from xunit.

Steps to Reproduce

I took the quick start example, changed the dependencies and created a test step. This can be found at

In Rider I can see the following when running the test project

If the packages aren't intended to work together, an interim step may be to enforce specific nuget versions and update the description to something other than

Package to use Reqnroll with xUnit 2.4 and later. Reqnroll is an open-source Cucumber-style BDD test automation framework for .NET. It has been created as a reboot of the SpecFlow project.

You are correct. Reqnroll.xUnit targets xUnit v2. Because of the incompatibility xUnit decided to release a new package xunit.v3 instead of bumping the current one.

As for Reqnroll.xUnit, we discussed this in some other issue (or maybe discord, I don't know) and likely the best solution would be to also make a Reqnroll.xUnit.v3 package that targets the new xUnit version. I don't think this will be too much work as we're only really touching the surface of xUnit.

Note that this is not a versioning issue. When you're referencing xunit.v3 and Reqnroll.xUnit you're essentially referencing both the v2 (xunit package) and the v3 (xunit.v3 package) version of xUnit, which will definitely have conflicting type declarations.

Hi!

First of all, thanks for all your work 😄

I've started using xunit.v3 and I faced the same issue. I was wondering about the times you usually work with to have an idea of when this would be available. In addition, where could I find (if you have it, of course) a roadmap of the upcoming changes?

Regards.

As far as I see, there are breaking changes in xUnit 3 in the areas we use. So we cannot have a single plugin that works both with xUnit 2 and xUnit 3. So probably we should just make a copy of our own xUnit integration and change it for xUnit 3.

Anyone is interested to volunteer for this?

FYI I made a short list of what needs to be done to support xUnit 3.
