Is there a structure to follow for tests that expect a system binary, but that binary may not be available on everyone's machines? e.g. clang or gcc

like

@pytest.mark.skipif(not shutil.which("binary"))

?

Ooh, yes, exactly.

skipif

- haven't used that in a hot minute. Thanks!

I think we somehow have custom skip infrastructure, but I can't remember what it is. The idea is to fail eagerly in CI if a test can't run, but allow skipping on local

I think I saw that months and months ago while jumping around source code, but completely evicted it from memory. I think GH's CI has us covered for this, but not going to make that assumption on developer machines I was trying to think of one of the backends that uses system binaries, and explicitly doesn't download the backend. Which led me to Go. I couldn't find the skip decorator - but I just found this:

@pytest.mark.no_error_if_skipped
