Are tests failing?

[tuturto]

I followed instruction at hacking on Hy. After the test run, there were 39 failed, 508 passed and 1 xfailed tests. I'm running Python 3.10.7 on Lubuntu. Is this a common problem or do I just have something wrong with my environment?

Hey buddy, it's been a few.

Yeah, something is probably wrong on your end. You can always see the latest run on GitHub Actions here: https://github.com/hylang/hy/actions

That said, hacking.rst hasn't been updated in a while and has some obsolete stuff on it. I removed support for tox years ago, for example.

Indeed, too many years even.

Ok, good to know it's just me. Maybe I can see what the problem is and update hacking.rst accordingly.

I think I'll submit a PR later today (edit: #2440) to remove a lot of obsolete or unnecessary stuff from hacking.rst. In the meantime, pip install -e . && pip install pytest && pytest should suffice, modulo some deactivation and reactivation of your virtualenv to make sure you're running the new hy and pytest.

This time it worked, although I was pretty confident I had done that already. Thank you for your help!
