How to live with a circular reference with AutoFixture
[TestInitialize]
public void BeforeEach()
{
_fixture = new Fixture();
// client has a circular reference from AutoFixture point of view
_fixture.Behaviors.Remove(new ThrowingRecursionBehavior());
_fixture.Behaviors.Add(new OmitOnRecursionBehavior());
}

@Tridy different, very clever solution to the EF problem, thank you for adding it.

What sometimes also might help is to use:

_fixture = new Fixture();
// client has a circular reference from AutoFixture point of view
_fixture.OmitAutoProperties = true;

P.S.: In case of some properties causing the problem, especially if they may not be needed to initialize the object.
