Catastrophic failure while running xunit tests

When I run dotnet test in my xunit project all the tests pass, however, while the command is running this gets written to the output:

[xUnit.net 00:00:00.45]     [FATAL ERROR] System.ArgumentException

It doesn't even include the line where it failed so I have no idea how to fix it.

link code if open source

Fixed, it was because xunit apparently does not play well with implicit conversions, in this case an int to a BigInteger
