[Bug] Misleading error message in test

[0xmaayan]

🐛 Bug

Getting an error when running aptos move test using this code, unfortunately the error message is not clear and we should provide a better message around missing resources.

To reproduce

Code snippet to reproduce

struct TodoListRegistry has key, store {
  task_count: u64
}

fun init_module() acquires TodoListRegistry, SetTaskEvent {
  let newTask = string::utf8(b"Checkout aptos.dev");
  create_task(newTask);
}

public entry fun create_task(content: String) acquires TodoListRegistry, SetTaskEvent {
  let task_registry = borrow_global_mut<TodoListRegistry>(@myself);
}

#[test]
public entry fun test_set_task_count() acquires TodoListRegistry, SetTaskEvent {
  init_module();
}
