@marcelovilla It looks like I'm missing a GOOGLE_CREDENTIALS environment variable in the tests. I spent some time with the test code trying to understand this but there's a lot of things that are instantiated at runtime. Is it obvious to you what's failing here?

@blakerosenthal can you please add a pytest mock to the fixture at

nebari/tests/tests_unit/conftest.py

Line 92 in 215bbd6

],

for google_cloud.instances to allow the unit tests to pass without needing to hit the actual gcp endpoints?

@blakerosenthal if you have a moment, can you update the tests for this?
