> to my knowledge the function lacked tests to begin with and i was wondering how to test this as it requires a backend db with DAG runs Yeah it required db backend, if you [run in venv](https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/main/TESTING.rst#running-unit-tests-in-local-virtualenv) I thought it would be enough to use SQLite, Airflow created it by default if no backend provided (`${AIRFLOW_HOME}/airflow.db` or `${AIRFLOW_HOME}/unittests.db`), if test DB not initialised you could run `pytest` with flag `--with-db-init` If you run tests inside of [Breeze](https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/main/TESTING.rst#running-tests-using-breeze-from-the-host) then you already have DB backend by default i think it is Postgres. And at least PyCharm/IDEA correctly detected all tests out of the box, so you could easily run it in it (just make sure you configure venv) BTW, [boring-cyborg](https://github.com/apps/boring-cyborg) also provide useful links for First time contributor -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
