Hi,

It looks the whole [arguments] block may be removed and skip test

logic applied in #:test-flags as the package uses python-pytest e.g.

"--ignore=tests/test_freeimage.py" or "-k not <test-name>".

Done, but I had to keep the TMPDIR substitution.

Maybe install from Git?

https://github.com/imageio/imageio-freeimage/blob/master/tests/test_freeimage.py

the only one tests file which does not require urllib or requrests.

I tried, but most tests run imageio's downloader under the hood. IIRC only 2 tests pass by default. Then I got to a point where some tests pass in the build environment preserved by -K but still don't pass in the build run. I eventually gave up on it as a few other tests were still failing.

Maybe swap to #$(this-package-input "<package>") instead?
