Unit tests failing (on a git clone)

Hello,

I wanted to play with Anki's internals, and wanted to rely on the existing unit tests to check that I'm not breaking anything.
However, after cloning Anki from Github and running nosetests, I get 7 tests failing:

-5 errors due to server refusing the connexion (when testing remote sync) -a LaTeX test assertion that there is only 1 file in the media folder -the absence of aqt.forms module.

Attached is the trace of nosetests.

Best,
Julien

   The AnkiWeb tests only work if there is a copy of AnkiWeb running on your local computer, so there is no need to worry about that.

   For the forms, did you run aqt/tools/build_ui.sh yet?

   Not sure about the LaTeX one, although I think I got that one last time I ran the tests. Damien should be able to clear it up.

   I hadn't built, and indeed that test passed then.
   Thanks for your answer. I'm not particularly concerned about the failed test, but mostly want to be sure I'm not missing anything before I start changing things!

   Best

   What is the error on the latex test?

   Here is the trace (it's also attached to my initial post):

   ======================================================================
   FAIL: tests.test_latex.test_latex
   ----------------------------------------------------------------------
   Traceback (most recent call last):
     File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/nose/case.py", line 197, in runTest
       self.test(*self.arg)
     File "/home/julien/projets/incremental/anki/tests/test_latex.py", line
   31, in test_latex
       assert len(os.listdir(d.media.dir())) == 1
   AssertionError

   It's probably normal though, I don't think I've installed LaTeX on that
   computer. I just assumed initially that all the tests should pass on a
   fresh clone.

   It will fail if you have latex but not dvipng.
