start asp net core webapp from console project

Question

I got an asp.net core WebApp project. Now I want to start that web app from another console app.

How do I do that?

I want to reuse all the configuration and DI setup from webapp. Thanks

Asp.net core web projects by default hosted and run via console app. Is there anything you want to do specifically? — Chetan, Sep 16 '19 at 12:01
@chetan Yes. I'm trying to run contract based API testing (Pact Foundation). I need to spin up the API and tweak the DI a bit to mock dependencies to run the test. — terle, Sep 16 '19 at 12:04
Can you not simply use a test project and the test server? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/test/integration-tests?view=aspnetcore-2.2 — Chris Pratt, Sep 16 '19 at 12:18
@ChrisPratt. I did not know that existed. It looks very promising. I will have a look right now. Thanks — terle, Sep 16 '19 at 12:26

You can use the DOTNET run command from your console app to run the Web App.

dotnet run --project ./projects/proj1/proj1.csproj
