I’ve set up a basic package following the description in the pkg docs. When I run pkg\> test I get errors about missing packages that are dependencies of the target package.

looks like Random is being included into the environment, but not found when the package executes. I can fix by adding Random to test/Project.toml, but don’t think that is the intended behavior. Am I missing something?

maybe you need to make `Random` a `dep` of your package `Hello`

thanks not sure if I had that in before. Just confirmed it is there now. Still get same behavior though
