[3990752948] Upstream Reporter: smoparth
Upstream issue status: Open
Upstream description:

The [testenv:test] section in tox.ini only passes PYTHON_IMAGE and CUDA_IMAGE through to the test process. PYTHON_VERSION and CUDA_VERSION are not listed in passenv, so tox's environment isolation strips them out, even when explicitly exported in the shell.
The version validation tests silently skip every time.
