Document PostgreSQL requirement for full test suite when using SQLite local setup #2229
Open
Description
Hi,
I set up VulnerableCode locally in GitHub Codespaces using the documented Makefile flow.
What worked:
- make dev
- make envfile
- make sqlite
- make run
The application started successfully with SQLite for local development.
What I observed:
- make test fails under SQLite because some tests rely on PostgreSQL-specific database features, including DISTINCT ON queries and JSON containment lookups.
The installation docs already mention SQLite caveats, but it would help contributors if the docs clearly stated that:
- SQLite is fine for quick local development and running the dev server
- PostgreSQL should be used for running the complete test suite
I’ve prepared a small docs clarification for this.
