Hooks async await support

[xmegacorel]

It's possible to add support async/await for any kind of Hooks.
I have some case to setup specflow tests.

1. I want to start my services in docker-compose env
2. => I have some code that process in loop to ping all services, I have to wait with timeout that all services will startup and give me /version or /healthz good response.
   So, in brief I have this code:
   [BeforeTestRun]
   public static Task BeforeTestRun()
   {
   ..... // to check that code below execute only once
   .....
   PermissionService.SetUpAuthorizedUserRoleAsync(FindServiceUrl(Names.PermissionService)).GetAwaiter().GetResult();
   }

async Task SetUpAuthorizedUserRoleAsync(..)
{
// for example
var tasks = services.Select(x => checker.CheckAsync(url)).ToList();
await Task.WaitAll(tasks); // if some task fail, test engine don't respond.
// but if I change code that:
Task.WaitAll(tasks).GetAwaiter().GetResult(); // ok
}

@SabotageAndi Hey, there is any update on the subject?

[SabotageAndi]

No, sadly not.

@SabotageAndi Sorry if this is not related, however does it mean we can't bind an async operation in a [BeforeFeature] hook as well? Thanks

I am using Specflow.xunit v3.9.74 and am able to use as below

    public static async Task CleanupOnStart()
    {
        await DoSomethingAsync();
        await DoSomethingElseAsync();
    }
