Interface IProtoClientInitializer
Defines a contract for initializing and registering client instances (e.g., HttpClient, GrpcChannel) into the active ProtoExecutionContext.
public interface IProtoClientInitializer- Extension Methods
Properties
ClientType
Gets the type under which the client is registered in the execution context.
Type ClientType { get; }Property Value
Name
Gets the registration name for this client (e.g., "Default", "OrderService"). Initializers with the same Protocol, client type and name form an ordered provider chain.
string Name { get; }Property Value
Protocol
Gets the protocol this initializer serves (for example "Rest"), or null for a
host-level client. Protocols keep their own provider chains, and a provider registers its client
under Protocol:Name (see ScopedName(string?, string)),
so two protocols can own the same client name without shadowing each other.
string? Protocol { get; }Property Value
Methods
TryInitializeAsync(ProtoExecutionContext)
Attempts to build and register the client into the specified test execution context. Returns false without changing the context when this initializer cannot provide the client for the current configuration.
The test lifecycle carries the caller's cancellation token, or the runner's own where its adapter has one; an initializer reads it from CancellationToken and passes it to its own I/O. MSTest's extension point exposes no token, so that adapter starts with None; a run-scoped hook is the cancellable extension point.
