CreateHostBuilder / configuration to a specific environement

[FredCni]

In the "Set the environment" section, the doc refers to setting the value of env variables w/o showing how to do it. But the goal can be achieved that way. I suggest you add this code snippet:

protected override IHostBuilder CreateHostBuilder() =>
        base.CreateHostBuilder().ConfigureWebHost(x => x.UseEnvironment("integration"));

The derived WebApplicationFactory will therefore create the SUT with a specific environment, which allows for example to use a specific appsetting.ENV.json defined in the API project (as you'd have an appsetting.Development.json, etc...)

Is anyone working on this issue? Otherwise, I'd like to try it out, I'm new to open-source.

@kianiehsan66 help would be appreciated. The first step would be updating https://github.com/dotnet/AspNetCore.Docs/tree/main/aspnetcore/test/integration-tests/samples/3.x/IntegrationTestsSample to show how it works.

Looks like it's there now.
