Trying to update my plugin for 2026.1 all of my tests fail [here](https://github.com/minecraft-dev/MinecraftDev/blob/dev/src/test/kotlin/framework/BaseMinecraftTest.kt#L63). The error is because my facet doesn’t exist:
```auto
Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException: null cannot be cast to non-null type com.demonwav.mcdev.facet.MinecraftFacetType
at com.demonwav.mcdev.facet.MinecraftFacet$Companion.getFacetType(MinecraftFacet.kt:255)
at com.demonwav.mcdev.framework.BaseMinecraftTestKt$getProjectDescriptor$1.configureModule(BaseMinecraftTest.kt:63)
at com.intellij.testFramework.LightProjectDescriptor.lambda$createContentEntry$2(LightProjectDescriptor.java:145)
```
The problem is my facet type is not registered, so my code trying to get my facet type always fails.
This issue is specific to 2026.1 but I can’t find any documentation or any indication of how I’m supposed to work around this. When I list all registered facet types, mine is nowhere to be found. Do I need to do something to force my facet type to load?

The issue is my plugin wasn’t loaded due to new bundled plugin dependency requirements.
I had to add `bundledPlugin("org.jetbrains.idea.reposearch")` for 2026.1 due to some changes in the Maven plugin.
This smoke test helped figure that out:
```kotlin
@Test
@Suppress("UnstableApiUsage")
fun testPluginEnabled() {
// This test helps to detect cases where some plugin(s) cannot be loaded.
// One reason is that some major IDE versions include changes to plugin dependencies which cause
// our plugin not to load in tests, often because they added a mandatory dependency not available by default.
val loadingErrors = PluginManagerCore.getAndClearPluginLoadingErrors()
Assertions.assertTrue(loadingErrors.isEmpty()) {
loadingErrors.mapNotNull { it.reason }.joinToString("\n", "\n") { it.detailedMessage }
}
}
```
