Full details: Automatic Tests

Explanation

Automatic tests are not necessary for this dependency-only change. The commit changes only requirements-testing.txt, replacing pytest==7.2.1 with pytest==9.0.3; it changes no application code or existing tests.

Full details: Testing Instructions

Explanation

The Testing instructions section contains only template comments and no actionable steps. The pull request changes the backend testing environment by upgrading pytest in requirements-testing.txt; the repository installs that file in CI and runs the backend test suite. The description does not state how to install or verify the updated dependency, nor which backend tests to run.

Resolution

Add clear testing steps. For example: install requirements-testing.txt, configure the required MariaDB and Redis services, and run ./ve/bin/python manage.py test --verbosity=3 --keepdb. If pytest tests are intended to be covered, also specify the relevant pytest command and test paths. State the expected result.

Our test suite still works perfectly, no new errors! The new version also automatically generates a pytest.ini file if it does not exist.
