How do they fail? They might indicate a real problem in the code
(that's what tests are for -- detecting problems before they are
actually encountered).

Looks like a bug.

I don't know if it fails for the upstream author, but I don't think
that's relevant to Guix. More relevant I think, is that this bug
appears in Guix, so it can cause problems for Guix users, so some
fixing might be necessary.
I don't know much about Emacs though, so you might need to contact
upstream about the bug.
Greetings,
Maxime.
One of the tests fails. Looks like it's testing whether helpful--docstring
and
helpful--docstring-advice figure out that a function is advised.
I've tried using helpful-* functions from this updated package in Emacs,
and it works - advices are shown.
So it looks like the tests are broken.
(but I don't understand the ert tests, maybe someone else
should look at this)
Yes, your pull request have been accepted! Thank you. Mind if I update? I would like helpful to be fixed quickly.
