Motivation
Currently, we import the
localstack.testing.scenario.provisioning
module on every pytest run, which in turns imports the aws_cdk python bindings.This leads to a heavy increase in startup time, especially when debugging (tested in Pycharm).
By deferring the import to the first fixture usage, instead of on all imports, that increased delay will only happen for tests actually requesting the fixture, instead of all tests.
For unrelated tests, this can reduce the start time of the test (on my system):
CI runtime should only marginally be affected, only if test selection selects tests without a single usage of the infra provisioner.
I also fixed the mypy precommit errors happening on my system, by ignoring the plux import completely, instead of just ignoring import-untyped errors.
