The default version of `grep` on macOS (at least through macOS 15) does not take a `-P` argument, which causes `check/pytest` to fail due to the call to `grep -P` on line 432: ```shell grep -Pv '^(.\[0m)?[\.FEsx]+(.\[36m)?\s+\[\s*\d+%\](.\[0m)?$' ``` The problem is that `-P` is for using Perl-compatible regular expressions (PCRE), which are not standard in the BSD version of grep that comes with macOS. Switching to grep's extended regex syntax using `-E` resolves the problem.
