looks to have just been a config issue on my end in the test_helper.exs where I renamed by app, but did not rename on this line:

Ecto.Adapters.SQL.Sandbox.mode

Iā€™m having a very similar error

  1) test humanize errors (StoreTest)
     test/store_test.exs:5
     ** (ArgumentError) argument error
     stacktrace:
       (stdlib) :ets.lookup_element(Ecto.Registry, nil, 3)
       (ecto) lib/ecto/registry.ex:18: Ecto.Registry.lookup/1
       (ecto) lib/ecto/adapters/sql/sandbox.ex:529: Ecto.Adapters.SQL.Sandbox.proxy_pool/1
       (ecto) lib/ecto/adapters/sql/sandbox.ex:469: Ecto.Adapters.SQL.Sandbox.checkout/2
       (store) test/support/data_case.ex:28: Store.DataCase.__ex_unit_setup_0/1
       (store) test/support/data_case.ex:1: Store.DataCase.__ex_unit__/2
       test/store_test.exs:1: StoreTest.__ex_unit__/2

But in my case all the names seem to be correct ā€¦

test_helper.ex

ExUnit.start()

Ecto.Adapters.SQL.Sandbox.mode(Store.Repo, :manual)

support/data_case.ex

defmodule Store.DataCase do
  use ExUnit.CaseTemplate

  using do
    quote do
      alias Store.Repo
    end
  end

  setup tags do
    :ok = Ecto.Adapters.SQL.Sandbox.checkout(Store.Repo)
    unless tags[:async] do
      Ecto.Adapters.SQL.Sandbox.mode(Store.Repo, {:shared, self()})
    end
    :ok
  end
end

config/test.exs

use Mix.Config

config :store, ecto_repos: [Store.Repo]
config :store, Store.Repo,
  adapter: Ecto.Adapters.Postgres,
  pool: Ecto.Adapters.SQL.Sandbox,
  database: "db_test"

lib/store/repo.ex

defmodule Store.Repo do
  use Ecto.Repo, otp_app: :store
end

It seems that for some reason the process is not started ā€¦ https://github.com/elixir-ecto/ecto/blob/master/lib/ecto/registry.ex#L17

So in my case the process was failing because I forgot to run a migration. But this error was hidden behind several ** (DBConnection.OwnershipError) cannot find ownership process for errors ā€¦

Same for me, different solution.

In my case the process was not started because I simply forgot to register the supervisor for APP.Repo in lib/APP/application.ex.

Thanks to the both of you for writing this down and pointing in the right direction!
