Testing expectations

  • If you modify collection scripts under scripts/collector/, run the collection script tests: uv run pytest -m script_test (Postgres-only is acceptable when other databases are deferred).

  • Add new script tests under tests/integration/<db>/test_collection_scripts.py and include the script_test marker. See Development Commands for the full test matrix.
