Hi friends,

I noticed strange behavior involving unittest discovery with namespace packages. Using dot notation to discover test packages within a namespace package will fail, but will succeed when using path notation.

It feels awkward that dot path would fail but normal path would succeed. Is this the desired behavior?

I created a demo repo and fully documented this odd behavior here

I think this is a duplicate of one (or both) of 35617, or 23882 .

Both of those have unmerged proposed fixes.
