Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a new Project with Specflow default Template.

2. Create a Empty Scenario.

3. Add Specflow.Autofac Nuget Package.

4. Add a class with a static method with attribute [ScenarioDependencies]

public class Startup
    {
        [ScenarioDependencies]
        public static ContainerBuilder CreateContainerBuilder()
        {
            // create container with the runtime dependencies
            //var builder = AddServicesForTests();
            var builder = new ContainerBuilder();

            //TODO: add customizations, stubs required for testing

            //builder.RegisterAssemblyTypes(typeof(Startup).Assembly).SingleInstance();
            
            //builder.RegisterTypes(typeof(TestDependencies).Assembly.GetTypes().Where(t => Attribute.IsDefined(t, typeof(BindingAttribute))).ToArray()).SingleInstance();

            builder.RegisterTypes(typeof(Startup).Assembly.GetTypes().Where(t => Attribute.IsDefined(t, typeof(BindingAttribute))).ToArray()).SingleInstance();

            return builder;
        }

4. Run Test in VS2019

The problem only occurs in version 3.9.22 of the SpecFlow.AutoFac package, with version 3.9.8 working.

[SabotageAndi]

That is strange, as there are no changes in these versions that would do anything with the DI support. After updating to 3.9.22 could you delete your obj/bin folder and build again?
