No easy way to change ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT or get UserSecrets with WebApplicationTestFixture

[shanselman]

Trying to follow https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/webdev/2018/03/05/asp-net-core-2-1-0-preview1-functional-testing-of-mvc-applications/

The defaults are not sensible. I should not have to do this, to just use Development, or use User Secrets:

public class MyOwnTextFixture<TStartup> : WebApplicationTestFixture<Startup> where TStartup : class
  {
          public MyOwnTextFixture() { }

          protected override void ConfigureWebHost(IWebHostBuilder builder)
          {
              builder.UseEnvironment("Development");
          }
  }

The secrets are coming out null, and the Config object that's injected into my pages are not the same one I made before.

Adding @rynowak, just in case he may have some ideas, as @javiercn is out.

I think the proposed fix here is to use the Development environment rather than creating something new for tests. Is there anything else that was needed?

We want to also make sure that it's reasonable to set the environment as well, and add a code sample to the docs.

@rynowak There's still (I think) an underlying issue...even if I change the Environment, I can't seem to access "WebProject1"'s UserSecrets from "TestProject1." There is something there, unrelated to Environment.

We are discussing this. Will update shortly. Regarding user secrets, can it be that is looking for the user secrets for your test assembly instead of for your app assembly? I will have to look into it in more detail

I was thinking that might be the case, but I added the UserSecretsID in the csproj.

@shanselman Hey Scott, I was able to get the user secrets once I set the environment to development on my test. (I'm using preview2 for the repro).

Can you tell me more about how you were setting the environment/ping me to take a look at your app with you? It won't take us long.
