+
+**Testing**
+
+If this issue is a regression or something that should block release, please consider including a test either in the [testsuite](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/tree/master/tests) or as a [hydraJob]( https://github.com/NixOS/nix/blob/master/flake.nix#L396) so that it can be part of the [automatic checks](https://hydra.nixos.org/jobset/nix/master).
