After upgrading from .net core 2.2 to 3.1, integration tests are failing.
All tests are wrapped in TransactionScope so that all changes to db should be revered (scope.Complete() is not called).
When call to the data access layer is made through api (HttpClient) records are created in the database, but they should not be since the entire test is wrapped in TransactionScope.

There are many files/classes involved so I've created a example repository
Example tests that are failing are in https://github.com/niksloter74/web-api-integration-test/tree/master/netcore3.1
Working example in .net core 2.2 https://github.com/niksloter74/web-api-integration-test/tree/master/netcore2.2
Direct test for service layer is working correctly

This is by design but there’s a flag to get the old behavior back on TestServer called PreserveExecutionContext.
Here is an official discussion thread.
This line in IntegartionTest class fixed the problem
_factory.Server.PreserveExecutionContext = true;
I've also updated the repository
