(Python)Getting Error while running pytest on fresh repo by default

[DineshThumma9]

I have ran uv run pytest on freshly created repo just installed deps and activates venv
I get error saying i need to do npm install on nodejs module first or set a cli path to copilot something this should be mentioned in docs prerequisites requiring for running test if this was always the case
also i get 29passed , 2 skipped and 69 other errors regarding proxy Failed to read Proxy URL
i haven't seen any prerequisites or setting up URL before running
It seems there is issue with harness package or dependency in nodejs module due to which i get Failed to read Proxy URL or Timeout Error
I can't find what is exactly need to be fixed

On running uv run pytest first time

    raise RuntimeError(
E   RuntimeError: CLI not found. Set COPILOT_CLI_PATH or run 'npm install' in the nodejs directory.

Thank you for opening this issue, @DineshThumma9!

I've applied the following labels:

• sdk/python - Python SDK specific
• bug - Test failures indicate an issue
• testing - Related to test infrastructure
• documentation - Prerequisites may need to be documented better
• needs-info - Need more details

To help us investigate, could you please provide:

1. Exact command and full error output - especially the npm install error and the proxy URL errors
2. Python version and SDK version (or commit SHA if from main branch)
3. Operating system and environment details
4. Any proxy/network configuration in your environment
5. Whether you ran any setup steps before uv run pytest

The team will review this once we have more context!
