haven't had time to get back to this, but idle thought that I'm recording for later investigation: how does the continuous integration handle this installation issue? Is it documented there?

Not certain, but I think tests in CI run on Ubuntu and don't appear to install any additional Sqlite-related dependencies, and so my guess is the version of Sqlite installed by default on Ubuntu has the SQLITE_ENABLE_FTS3_PARENTHESIS option enabled and so doesn't run into this issue.

Thanks, that does look similar!

Unfortunately, pysqlite3-binary isn't available for Mac OS X, so I can't quickly check that that fixes it; will do so later.

Ah that makes sense, I guess that's why this isn't just always installed already. I wonder if a possible solution to this issue could be doing feature detection on whether this feature is supported by the current Sqlite version, and if not these tests could be disabled locally? But possibly there's a better way to handle this, will see what @simonw thinks

thanks for the response! full errors attached; excerpt:

        response = client.get("/fixtures/searchable.json?" + querystring)

      assert expected_rows == response.json["rows"]

A quick scan of #1223 suggests you're right. Unfortunately, pysqlite3-binary isn't available for Mac OS X, so I can't quickly check that that fixes it; will do so later.

What are the full errors you're getting?

This may be the same issue as described in https://github.com/simonw/datasette/pull/1223 - essentially the test suite (and corresponding Datasette features I assume) are by default implicitly dependent on your Sqlite installation having been compiled with the SQLITE_ENABLE_FTS3_PARENTHESIS option. If this is the same issue then I think this can be fixed either by recompiling with that option or (probably more easily) by running pip install pysqlite3-binary, which will be used in preference to your system Sqlite installation and has this option enabled.
