to reproduce remove the section [database_tests] from your local tests. It will then result in a database access exception.

That's because in https://github.com/matomo-org/matomo/blob/4.4.1/tests/PHPUnit/bootstrap.php#L126 it uses a mock config which has "allowSave = false".

It must have regressed at some point but not sure where.

The goals are:

• Not throw an exception when database_tests section is not configured.
• Automatically pre-fill the database_tests section in the config/config.ini.php

or is this maybe now expected?
