[Bug]: A dependency with the name Pest\Mutate\Contracts\MutationTestRunner cannot be resolved.

What Happened

When I add covers([CLASS HERE]); to my tests/TestCase.php, Pest\Exceptions\ShouldNotHappen is thrown.

Exact output:

   Pest\Exceptions\ShouldNotHappen 

  This should not happen - please create an new issue here: https://github.com/pestphp/pest.

How to Reproduce

Install a fresh Laravel app, add PestPHP and add covers([\App\Providers\AppServiceProvider::class]); to tests/TestCase.php.

Other classes can be used as well instead of \App\Providers\AppServiceProvider::class.

<?php
/*
 * tests/TestCase.php
 */

namespace Tests;

use App\Providers\AppServiceProvider;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Testing\TestCase as BaseTestCase;

covers([AppServiceProvider::class]);

abstract class TestCase extends BaseTestCase {}

Hi @TimeglitchD

Can I ask you why you want to do this in the first place?
The TestCase class should not contain tests at all, so I don't understand why you want to use covers() in there.
