+### Usage in tests
+
+`path_provider` now uses a `PlatformInterface`, meaning that not all platforms share the a single `PlatformChannel`-based implementation. 
+With that change, tests should be updated to mock `PathProviderPlatform` rather than `PlatformChannel`.
+
+See this `path_provider` [test](https://github.com/flutter/plugins/blob/master/packages/path_provider/path_provider/test/path_provider_test.dart) for an example.
+
+You will also have to temporarily add the following line to the setup of your test.
+```dart
+disablePathProviderPlatformOverride = true;
+```
+
+See this [issue](https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/52267), for more details on why this is needed.
