Troubleshooting¶

Installing pico-testing changed my suite's behavior¶

That is the feature: PICO_BOOT_AUTO_PLUGINS=false is now set for every test. A test that relied on auto-discovered plugins needs @pytest.mark.pico_auto_plugins — or better, list its modules explicitly in make_container.

ProviderNotFoundError inside make_container¶

The component's module is not in the modules list. Pass module objects or import strings for everything the test resolves: make_container("my_pkg", sys.modules[__name__]).

My conftest already defines make_container¶

Keep it — a local fixture overrides the plugin's. Delete it when it no longer does anything the plugin doesn't.

make_container(boot=True) raises ImportError¶

boot=True uses pico_boot.init; install pico-boot in the test env.

Coverage misses the plugin's own lines (plugin authors)¶

pytest plugins load before pytest --cov starts coverage. Measure with coverage run -m pytest tests instead — that is how this repo's own cov env works.
