Has anyone experienced flaky tests without output

`java.lang.IllegalStateException at KoinContextHandler.kt`

From `./gradlew testDebug`? I’ve used koin before in a few projects and this one is internal. It extends `AutoCloseKoinTest` and fails for certain files exactly every other time. Using `./gradlew clean testDebug` fixes it, but I’m not sure what the issue is. Curious if anyone has experienced the same thing

This is for robolectric with a config pointing to our test application class. Koin is started in application on start

for RoboElectric test, Koin is already started from the Android app context (as a regular app)

Yes, so I’ve attached a test application which replaces the main one, and I no longer start koin myself within a given unit test

Implementation wise I do believe that koin is setup properly. It’s weird that the test is failing every other time exactly without clean, and it works if we clean the project beforehand
