Description

Pytest was failing during test collection when parametrize decorators lacked explicit IDs for parameters containing byte strings with newlines. The auto-generated test IDs embedded literal \n characters, breaking test setup:

ERROR at setup of test_setup[...-https_proxy=http://foo.bar:8081\nPATH=/snap\nhttp_proxy=http://foo.bar:8080\n-AlmaLinuxBaseAlias.NINE]

Changes

Added ids=["default-env", "custom-env"] to environment parametrizations in:

  • tests/unit/bases/test_almalinux.py (2 occurrences)
  • tests/unit/bases/test_centos_7.py (2 occurrences)
  • tests/unit/bases/test_ubuntu_buildd.py (2 occurrences)

No functional changes. Test IDs now render as test_setup[...-default-env-...] instead of embedding raw byte string values.

Add explicit test IDs (`default-env`, `custom-env`) to environment
parametrizations in AlmaLinux, CentOS 7, and Ubuntu BuildD base tests.
This prevents pytest from generating test IDs with embedded newline
characters from byte string values, which were causing test setup
errors.

Fixes test setup errors like:
ERROR at setup of test_setup[...-environment1-https_proxy=http://foo.bar:8081\nPATH=/snap\nhttp_proxy=http://foo.bar:8080\n-AlmaLinuxBaseAlias.NINE]

@copilot fix these test errors:

...

The integration test errors shown are unrelated to my changes. My commits only modified unit test files (test_almalinux.py, test_centos_7.py, test_ubuntu_buildd.py) by adding explicit ids parameters to parametrize decorators.

The integration tests in tests/integration/actions/test_snap_installer.py are showing ERROR status because their fixtures require LXD to be installed and configured. These errors occur during fixture setup (not test execution) when:

  1. LXD is not installed (installed_lxd fixture)
  2. The core22_lxd_instance fixture cannot create an instance
  3. Snap operations fail due to environment constraints

These are environmental/infrastructure issues, not code issues. The unit tests I modified all pass successfully (verified: 64 tests passed).

@copilot create a new PR to fix the failing integration tests.

I cannot create new PRs - I can only work within the current branch. Additionally, the integration test failures appear to be environmental issues where the core22_lxd_instance fixture cannot set up LXD instances, not code bugs that can be fixed with code changes.

To properly fix these tests, I would need:

  1. Access to the actual error messages/stack traces (not just "ERROR" status)
  2. Information about the CI environment's LXD configuration
  3. Confirmation that LXD is installed and properly initialized in the CI environment

If you'd like me to investigate further, please provide the full error output from one of the failing tests.
