Research direction

No file or test path is named. Start by locating the OutOfProcess tests and the IDisposable.Dispose implementation shown in the report, then reproduce the failure around wb.Close(SaveChanges: false). Done means the disposal timing no longer raises closed-process-handle errors and the behavior is covered by a test.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

From @eeaston:

Running the dispose method when using OutOfProcess mode throws errors due to I think closed process handles.

    // Clean-up for the class is in the IDisposable.Dispose implementation
    public void Dispose()
    {
        wb.Close(SaveChanges: false);
    }
