Lol, that's ridiculous. At least here they aren't requiring us to do that (yet).

In my case, this is modular js code. Copilot doesn't know how to test the internals of the module so it just calls them directly, which would cause an exception because the function would be undefined.

I end up rewriting the test myself whenever it does this because there's no reason to export those functions, it would just cause problems. Typically all this requires is changing the test inputs so the internal logic is covered by the test. It's just too dumb to know that, because it doesn't actually understand the code at all.
