pytest.raises to json.JSONDecodeError and CpaError, removing the generic
TypeError and ValueError alternatives while preserving the corrupt-JSON fixture
and read_cache_meta call.
- Around line 140-143: Update test_read_cache_meta_empty_dir to create an
existing empty cache directory under tmp_path and assert read_cache_meta returns
None for it, while retaining a separate assertion that a nonexistent path also
returns None.
- Around line 165-173: Add an assertion in test_should_refresh_modes for the
fresh meta instance with "stale" mode, verifying _should_refresh returns False;
retain the existing stale-metadata assertion that returns True.

@AshSgDe29071999 hey! thanks for your contribution here!

CodeRabbit just left some review comments. Please address those and I'll run the CI and check after that 😊

Addressed the CodeRabbit review comments on packages/create-python-app-core/tests/test_git_cache.py:

• test_read_cache_meta_empty_dir now covers an existing empty cache directory and a missing path separately
• Corrupt JSON assertion narrowed to json.JSONDecodeError and CpaError only
• test_should_refresh_modes now asserts fresh metadata does not refresh under "stale" mode (still asserts old metadata does)

Ready for another look whenever you have a chance.

@ulises-jeremias — CodeRabbit’s three review notes on packages/create-python-app-core/tests/test_git_cache.py are applied (commit 5c512c3):

1. Empty cache dir — test_read_cache_meta_empty_dir asserts both an existing empty entry directory and a missing path return None
2. Narrow exceptions — corrupt JSON expects only (json.JSONDecodeError, CpaError)
3. Stale-mode fresh meta — assert _should_refresh(meta, "stale") is False for fresh metadata (still asserts old meta refreshes)

Ready for CI whenever you have a moment. Thanks!
