Run pytest tests inside the NetAlertX devcontainer using the runTests interface. Tests are located in the test/ directory, and the Python path is preconfigured to include critical directories, ensuring predictable execution within the isolated container environment.

Yes. Start the devcontainer in VSCode, use the testFailure tool to gather current failures, then run targeted tests via runTests to reproduce and fix issues with full debugging context in the container.

Use the runTests interface to execute all tests from the test/ directory inside the devcontainer. The testFailure tool provides pre-flight failure information, enabling comprehensive PR validation before merge.

The testFailure tool gathers current test failures, then runTests lets you execute only those previously failing tests. This accelerates debugging by isolating problematic cases without running the full test suite.

The devcontainer includes pytest-based tests in the test/ directory with preconfigured PYTHONPATH mappings pointing to server/ and other critical directories, so tests run without manual path configuration.

Running tests inside the devcontainer ensures consistent results across environments, isolates dependencies, and eliminates "works on my machine" issues during PR validation and local debugging.
