What happened?
The test_health_check function in tests/test_basic.py is currently failing across the repository. It is missing the client positional argument required by the test suite, causing a TypeError.
Evidence:
My current Pull Request (#263) is failing because of this universal test error, even though the logic in my new file is correct. You can see the error in my PR's check logs: test_health_check() missing 1 required positional argument: 'client'.
Fix:
I have a patch ready that updates the function signature to test_health_check(client) and removes the redundant get_client() call.
Please assign this to me under GSSoC 2026 so that I can submit the fix!
To Reproduce:
Run python -m pytest tests/
Observe the failure in test_health_check.
Expected behavior:
The test should accept the client fixture to properly interface with the Flask test client.
Expected behaviour
The pytest runner should automatically inject the client fixture into the test_health_check function. When running the test suite, the health check should return a 200 OK status and pass successfully without any TypeError or manual intervention in the codebase.
