During SimpleTest i got htis error

PDOException: SQLSTATE[42S02]: Base table or view not found: 1146 Table 'gemm.simpletest959632registry' doesn't exist: SELECT r.filename AS filename FROM {registry} r WHERE (r.name LIKE :db_condition_placeholder_0 ESCAPE '\\') AND (r.type = :db_condition_placeholder_1) ; Array ( [:db_condition_placeholder_0] => Drupal\\svr\\Foo\\Foo [:db_condition_placeholder_1] => trait ) in _registry_check_code() (line 3205 of /var/www/includes/bootstrap.inc).

I fixed it by using a try .. catch. 

    try {
        $file = Database::getConnection('default', 'default')
            ->select('registry', 'r', array('target' => 'default'))
            ->fields('r', array('filename'))
            // Use LIKE here to make the query case-insensitive.
            ->condition('r.name', db_like($name), 'LIKE')
            ->condition('r.type', $type)
            ->execute()
            ->fetchField();
    } catch (PDOException $e) {
        $file = null;
    }

Is this a patch or is it an issue in SimpleTest?

I've just met the same problem. This seems to happen when I instantiate any class in my module. My guess is that the autoloader calls drupal_autoload_trait, which tries to look for something in the Drupal registry, but because my test is a DrupalUnitTestCase, the simpletest database schema has not been created (it's only needed for DrupalWebTestCase), which causes the exception.

So what is best practice here. Do we have to manually include those classes with a include_once() in the setUp() method. Seems a little clunky.

If you extend DrupalWebTestCase, and call the parent::setUp method listing the names of modules from which your tests need to execute code, you should not have to include_once anything, given that your .info files have correct dependencies and file lists. I wish it was easier to use DrupalUnitTestCase, because setting up the modules and their database schemas takes an awfully long time, but that's not so easily solved :-(

I suggest we close this as a support req. I have my doubts that a lot of improvements to simpletest and autoloading will be done in D7. After all we are getting close to dropping D9.
