Replace Fluent Assertions #1309
Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Earlier this year, the Fluent Assertions library is now charging money ($50/yr per developer). This greatly hinders the adoption of this project.
Describe the solution you'd like
Replace Fluent Assertions with something similar.
Describe alternatives you've considered
I have not considered anything myself, but I know Steve has switched to ShouldLy for his project.

I’ve made a pull request to replace FluentAssertions with Shouldly, which offers similar expressiveness and remains free and open source.
Hopefully no more open source projects start going commercial like this — it really does impact the ecosystem.

Guys What about MediatR and AutoMapper
Kamyab7 commentedon Apr 28, 2025
I've already submitted pull request #1321 to replace AutoMapper. For MediatR, I think Wolverine would be a good alternative to consider.
