Issue Description

We used to build our Xunit project with version 2.0.3. And it works perfectly. However, when we updated to version 2.1.0, our Azure pipeline task failed with a strange error. And we couldn't reproduce it locally.

I copied the entire task log to here. I wonder if someone could give us some hints here. I really like Reqnroll, and really want to continue using it.

The only changes from the generated feature cs file after we updated the package version is the following.

From

 public static async System.Threading.Tasks.Task FeatureSetupAsync()
        {
            testRunner = global::Reqnroll.TestRunnerManager.GetTestRunnerForAssembly(null, global::Reqnroll.xUnit.ReqnrollPlugin.XUnitParallelWorkerTracker.Instance.GetWorkerId());
            global::Reqnroll.FeatureInfo featureInfo = new global::Reqnroll.FeatureInfo(new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-US"), "Job", "Job API Operations", "\tAs a user\r\n\tI want to perform CRUD operations related to Job\r\n\tSo I can do certa" +
                    "in actions", global::Reqnroll.ProgrammingLanguage.CSharp, featureTags);
            await testRunner.OnFeatureStartAsync(featureInfo);
        }
        
        public static async System.Threading.Tasks.Task FeatureTearDownAsync()
        {
            string testWorkerId = testRunner.TestWorkerId;
            await testRunner.OnFeatureEndAsync();
            testRunner = null;
            global::Reqnroll.xUnit.ReqnrollPlugin.XUnitParallelWorkerTracker.Instance.ReleaseWorker(testWorkerId);
        }
        

To

public static async System.Threading.Tasks.Task FeatureSetupAsync()
        {
            testRunner = global::Reqnroll.TestRunnerManager.GetTestRunnerForAssembly();
            global::Reqnroll.FeatureInfo featureInfo = new global::Reqnroll.FeatureInfo(new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-US"), "Job", "Job API Operations", "\tAs a user\r\n\tI want to perform CRUD operations related to Job\r\n\tSo I can do certa" +
                    "in actions", global::Reqnroll.ProgrammingLanguage.CSharp, featureTags);
            await testRunner.OnFeatureStartAsync(featureInfo);
        }
        
        public static async System.Threading.Tasks.Task FeatureTearDownAsync()
        {
            await testRunner.OnFeatureEndAsync();
            global::Reqnroll.TestRunnerManager.ReleaseTestRunner(testRunner);
            testRunner = null;
        }
