Backend tests

cd backend && ./venv/bin/python -m pytest tests/ -v

Use the project venv (./venv/bin/python), not a system or conda Python — dependencies from requirements.txt such as paramiko are only installed there, and a wrong interpreter shows up as unrelated ModuleNotFoundError failures.

Matching CI locally: NO_ENTERPRISE=1

CI checks out with actions/checkout@v3 and no submodules: recursive, so app/enterprise is empty there and the app runs in community mode. A local checkout usually has the submodule populated, which switches on plan and subscription gating — and around 30 API tests then return a 403 they never see in CI.

Those failures are environmental, not real. To get a result comparable to CI:

cd backend && NO_ENTERPRISE=1 ./venv/bin/python -m pytest tests/ -v

This installs an import blocker (see the top of conftest.py) that makes app.enterprise raise ModuleNotFoundError, exactly as an un-checked-out submodule does, so the try: import app.enterprise guards and pytest.importorskip fall back to community mode the same way.

Run without the flag when you are working on enterprise code and want the gating active.

Live agent tests

tests_live/ runs the chat agent against the real model and local Postgres to catch prompt-effectiveness regressions the unit suite cannot see. It sits outside testpaths, so it is never collected here or in CI. See tests_live/README.md.
