Object of type 'System.Collections.Generic.List`1[System.String]' cannot be converted to type 'System.Collections.Generic.ISet`1[System.String]'.

See original GitHub issue

Starting in v2.7.0, I’m getting a list conversion error when setting an ISet property with a HashSet populated via an IList within a rule. This is not happening in v2.6.0.

public class MyClass
{
    public ISet<string> MySet { get; set; }
}

var faker = new AutoFaker<MyClass>()
    .RuleFor(o => o.MySet, f => new HashSet<string>(f.Make(3, () => f.Lorem.Word())));

var fakes = faker.Generate();

The generation throws the conversion error.
