FluentValidation unit test with context.RootContextData

Question

I have a unit test that I pass RootContextData, i.e.

var context = new ValidationContext<Person>(person);
context.RootContextData["MyCustomData"] = "Test";
var validator = new PersonValidator();
validator.Validate(context);

When unit testing that validator I need to pass the RootContextData but I don't see any way to do that.
.TestValidate() method does not have an overload that takes a context.

var result = validator.TestValidate(objectToTest);

Is there a way to set RootContextData for the validator before running a unit test?

From ValidatorTestExtensions.TestValidate function, you can pass the ValidationContext instance as the argument.

var result = validator.TestValidate(context);

I see the issue. I'm actually working with .NET 4 with and old version of FluentValidator. The old version doesn't have a TestValidate method that takes a context.
