From dea00336f5c45756654efddb3c5482d1c40112de Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: chris hay Date: Thu, 30 Jul 2026 12:36:47 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] test: deselect integration tests by default and skip when server unavailable The docstring said the @integration tests are skipped by default, but nothing enforced it: a plain 'pytest' / 'make test' ran them and failed, because they launch a real external server ('uvx mcp-server-sqlite') that currently resolves a version incompatible with the installed MCP SDK ('Server' has no 'list_resources' -> init timeout -> zero tools). CI never caught this because its matrix omits tests/integration entirely. - Add addopts = -m 'not integration' so the default run is hermetic and green; run them explicitly with 'pytest -m integration'. - Harden the sqlite fixture to skip (not fail) when initialize() reports success but no tools were discovered, so a broken/missing external server degrades to a skip even under -m integration.

Pin mcp<2 for that server's uvx invocation so it starts and serves tools; the integration tests now pass for real (3 passed) instead of being skipped.
