Spent a bunch of time trying to setup Koin for instrumented tests. Started by trying to use loadModules and unloadModules, which worked…until I found out it that the module didn’t load before tests started. That yielded test failures that were difficult to debug.

The solution, that doesn’t require test code in production code, was to:
1. Create a new class that extends the production Application class, let’s call the child InstrumentedTestApplication
2. In InstrumentedTestApplication, override the list of modules provided in `startKoin`’s modules declaration to include a testModule
3. Create a new class that extends AndroidJunitRunner , let’s call it InstrumentedTestJunitRunner that will instantiate InstrumentedTestApplication
4. Point testInstrumentationRunner in the app-level build.gradle to InstrumentedTestJunitRunner
Is this something that is in the Koin documentation, and I missed it? If not, is there interest in having it added?

Great feedback. Worth to have a clear walkthrough in doc yes 👍
