tests/README.md:Caution
pytest tests/will be run in GitHub Actions.All Python files that meet pytest discovery rules will be examined, and if pytest finds tests, they will be run.
Files of the form
test_*.pyor*_test.pyshould avoid code at global scope because it will be executed in pytest's discovery process. Classes, functions, and code inif __name__ == "__main__":blocks will not be run in pytest's discovery process, but code at global scope (including imports) will be run.
