gns3-server: test failure in test_create_image_with_not_supported_characters_by_filesystem

[mm1ke]

Hi,

for some reason gns3-server fails one test on my system.
The output of the test looks like this:

__________________________________________________________________ test_create_image_with_not_supported_characters_by_filesystem ___________________________________________________________________

tmpdir = local('/tmp/pytest-of-root/pytest-0/test_create_image_with_not_sup0'), fake_qemu_img_binary = '/tmp/pytest-of-root/pytest-0/test_create_image_with_not_sup0/qemu-img'

    async def test_create_image_with_not_supported_characters_by_filesystem(tmpdir, fake_qemu_img_binary):
    
        open(str(tmpdir / "hda.qcow2"), "w+").close()
    
        options = {
            "format": "raw",
            "size": 100
        }

                patch("os.makedirs"):
    
            with pytest.raises(QemuError):

This test also fails with older versions which is why i guess it has something todo with some changed system packages. Tests were done with python 3.12:

platform linux -- Python 3.12.3, pytest-8.2.0, pluggy-1.5.0
rootdir: /root/gns3-server-2.2.46
configfile: pytest.ini
plugins: pkgcore-0.12.27, asyncio-0.23.6, aiohttp-1.0.5
asyncio: mode=Mode.AUTO

Previously this didn't fail. Any idea what causes this?
Other then that, gns3 seems to work fine.

Fixed, thanks 👍
