Hi @ttqureshi -- I'm not sure why I have to keep allowing the CI to run here, but I bet it's frustrating to have to wait for me to know when you've fixed all the errors :(

You can run the tests locally using tox, e.g.

python3.11 -m venv venv311
source venv311/bin/activate
pip install tox
TOXENV=quality tox
TOXENV=django42 tox

If you want to run the 3.12 tests, use python 3.12 to create your virtualenv.

Thanks @pomegranited for the heads-up! I’ll run the tests locally with tox to catch any errors before pushing. Appreciate the tips.

@ttqureshi we're so close now!

So close @ttqureshi ! Just need a little more code coverage -- the easiest way to spot the missing lines is to look for the inline codecov warnings like these.
